I took two different .44 mag loads to the range today to shoot in my S&W 629. Gun was clean when I started, and midway through the session I cleaned it again. The loads:
1. 300gr speer, 22gr w296, winchester large pistol primer
2. 200gr speer jhp, 11.5gr w231, winchester large pistol primer.
Brass was once fired winchester.
The 300gr load worked fine; when I fired the 200gr load the cases would stick in the chambers and I would have to punch them out. Since this ain't exactly a screaming hot load, I was puzzled. Any body know what was going on?
