I don't know if thats true or not but sadly , the real fix is to clean the end of the forcing cone and face of the cylinder. Then ... Send the gun and a letter back to the owner instructing them on how to clean their gun. :barf:

When you're at the range or just out shooting , you should be wiping the fresh powder burns off these surfaces with a rag , every 4-5 loads . I keep these surfaces lightly lubricated , which I think aids slightly in cleaning after shooting.

Anyone that increases this gap is doing themselves a diservice . By increasing this gap , you take away velocity.
