Of course if you run a revolver too fast with too hot loads, the brass gets stuck in the cambers for moment. But I've noticed this ammo gets stuck in my 686 after firing just 7 rounds in succession.
Never have this problem firing much hotter loads in the 429 which is circa 1990.
The gun is clean. I'm wondering if it's something about Federal brass being just too bendy? Or, this newer 2019 model 686 having a slightly tighter bore or stickier metal composition? It takes a good 5 minutes for the brass and cylinder to cool enough for ejection.
Can anyone recommend a better lube for those chambers to prevent this? I've used hoppes and ballistol so far. Or just avoid Federal Ammo? Eventually I'll be handloading these, so any suggestions on components for that would also help.
Thanks,
