Took oze junior to the range yesterday; he shot an Evil AR (run for your lives). And since I had so much fun last week with the Coonan, I was craving more .357 magnum fun, so I rented a Ruger SP101.
The good news is that I had no stovepipes this time. But I did encounter something about which I previously never heard: halfway through my first box of ammo, it became difficult/impossible to eject the spent casings. I actually feared that I had effed something up. Took it to the RO, who said this was fairly common as the brass expands when it gets hot. Sounded ok to me, so I took breaks now and then. The problem never fully resolved itself, and it got to the point where I couldn't get a round fully seated in one chamber (.357 nor .38).
I understand that this might be common, but I don't think it's normal, is it? My noobie eyes told me that the gun looked clean, but something tells me that was not true.
