[QUOTE="Stillhunter, post: 1270519, member: 4765"] I understand the bullet unseating is known to be an issue with Alum. alloy Airweights loaded with unjacketed lead bullets, and less common with factory ammo using a copper jacketed bullet. Maybe lead bullets are crimped lighter?? It's not uncommon for a bullet to work its way forward enough to prevent the cylinder from rotating. Makes sense that the problem would be worse on the Ultra lightweights. Cylinder erosion? Ammo Issues? Personally I didn't need any MORE reasons to avoid something extremely lightweight, in an exotic alloy, firing .357 Mag! Good idea, the test for revolver ammo. I'm going to do it. [/QUOTE]
