I was shooting my new Ruger Single Seven today for the first time. I went through 14 rounds of .327, then switched to .32 H&R. Loaded and shot one cylinder-full, and as I was reloading the cylinder locked up - wouldn't turn and I couldn't get the cylinder pin out. Had to get the gunsmith next door to disassemble the thing. He showed me one case that had some extra thickness at the base. That's what locked it up. The ammo was Hornady Critical Defense. This is not a slam on Hornady. I've shot a lot of their stuff and been very pleased with it. Just wondering if anyone else has seen this problem.
Here's a photo. The offending cartridge is in the center.
Also, I have sent an email to Hornady.
