I have a couple of Winchester 94's, one in .357, one in .44. I dearly love them both, but they both have a tendency that terribly irritates me.
Perhaps one round in 20 will "hang up." The bullet will jam itself into the top of chamber such that a very small portion of the bullet hangs up on the top on the breech end of the barrel.
Both of them do it with pretty much any bullet that has a flat point or is a hollow point. I was wondering if it would be possible to slightly radius the top of the chamber opening to allow the bullet to "slide" into the chamber easier. My concern is part of the chamber might then be unsupported.
Has anyone else seen this and how is it fixed?
