The LSWCHP, (swaged,) shot very well and I didn't get any fouling at all, though a handful of unburnt kernel from each round. Nice groups.
The 158gr RN shot well too, as did the 160gr bullets.
Trouble is, toward the end of the session of 50 bullets, the hammer started hanging up. More specifically, the transfer bar was catching on the back of the firing pin.
The firing pin looks to be fine, and it sticks out at the same height it did before these loads.
The transfer bar, however, rattles around a little now, and it's hanging up.
I completely stripped down the gun, lock, stock and barrel and inspected/cleaned. It's the first time I've ever done this with this gun, and aside from learning "how to" along the way, it was easy.
There was a bit of crud in there, so I wiped it all clean with BreakFree and reassembled it. It still hangs up unless you cant it back a bit.
What do you guys think is wrong with it? Transfer bar bent from heavy bullets?
Just worn?
How can I fix this?
JMiller, I am especially interested in your POV here, since you seem to be "the guy who strips all weapons down and then finds out stuff" like me.
