I know that it just doesn't take much at all to really stop one, and it isn't a simple tap-rack-bang to get running again.

Years ago, I had a nickel 6-inch Model 57 that would bind up after less than 12 rounds of ammunition loaded with 2400 unless it was a full on top-end charge...and then it would do it within 30 rounds...from just a few unburned powder grains. Oddly, 2400 was the only powder that it would do this trick with. Because it was wicked accurate with cast bullets and 2400, I used a lot of it, but I always included a mil-spec double-end toothbrush in the old kit bag, and just cleaned under the star after every cylinder full.
