Time and again I read about, hear about or see where a shooter has been practicing with .38 special in their .357 mag......and not complained about the build up in the chambers untill they can't get their carry ammo into the chambers when they are done with the practice. Then they mumble, grumble and clean the crud out.
I think they should have cleaned the crud out earlier.
What if the carry .357 rounds will go in but are a tad snug. The crud is tight against the case at the crimp area.
Nice hot load with restricted chamber could raise pressure required to release the bullet to a dangerous level.
When I am using a multi cartridge gun and have fired short cartridges, I run empty long cartridges into the chambers to cut the junk out before loading live long cartridges.
With me tis .32 S&W Long, .357mag and .44mag. Lots of others that would fit this scenario.
