Hardworker,

I got the impression from your second post (#5 in this thread), that you fired the subject loads in a SECOND revolver, which is a Model 28.

Can you clear-up whether they have behaved the same way in 2 revolvers, or if they have all been shot in the rusted M28.

From your photo of the two fired cases, all I can say is that the part of the cases that expanded to fill the chambers appears very rough. But, the cases are dirty, and that may make them look unusually rough in a photograph when they really are not. Another picture of the case after they have been wiped clean might help. A picture showing the primers would also be interesting, now that we know the brand. A lot of us have shot 2400 in various brands of .357 Magnum cases with CCI-500 primers over the last few decades.

You wrote that the bullets are Speer JHP. Because Speer has made different versions of their 158 grain JHPs over the years, it would also be helpful to know if they were the old cup-and-core type (with a little lead exposed around the outside of the hollow point) or the more recent thickly plated versions (variously called "Unicore," "Gold Dot," and "Deep Curl").
