I have a Winchester Big Bore 375. Can you use the bullet from a 38-55 to reload the 375? I can not find anybody that has bullets for reloading the 375. 0 -
Brass expands after it's fired. But if it's factory loaded ammo, it shouldn't expand that much.
Only thing that comes to mind. Is if the chamber either wasn't reamed correctly, or with a out of spec reamer. If so, the fired brass might be out of round? And binds up as you describe.
This kind of out of spec chamber, isn't common. But does occurr, if quality control/inspection isn't on the ball.0 -
Chambers on lever guns are often on the loose side and out of round isn't that unusual either. If the fired cases have no marks on them at initial extraction it a good sign. Lumps/bulges can be full sized out, but case life suffers.
With the bolt back, muzzle down see if you can insert a fired case into the chamber by slowly rotating the case until it freely drops in.
Hands on inspection by a gunsmith is never a bad idea. Take your fired brass and ammo with you.0
