DannyB1954, when you load your revolver, if you will ease the hammer back just enough to free the cylinder to rotate, then spin it to make sure it spins freely, you will never have the problems you describe. The problems you describe are not jams, they are out of spec cartridges and should be detected before, not after, the revolver is put into action.
