Could be 44 Special / 44 Magnum thing.
nope, all wrong, revolver is defective for your safety i will come and pick up and dispose of properly. :taz just kidding, may need a good cleaning.these other guys know handguns.
I didn't see this answered..did you buy the ammo new? If not get a box of 240gr winchesters from wally world and run them thru it. Those are what I shoot thru my carbine and they cut same hole at 50 yds
accuracy and terminal performance are 2 totaly different issues. an all lead semi wad cutter bullet like the one in Crocs pic, as well as some cast bullets can be very accurate, but poor choices for hunting. some cast and premium jacketed bullets can be accurate and give good hunting performance but cost more. as in everything else people do things in different ways and both can work well. some re-loaders use 1 die to remove the old primer only and another die to re-size the case. I use 1 die that does both. for a straight walled case like the 44 mag the re-sized case mouth then needs to be belled (opened up) to accept the bullet for seating. the seating/crimping die will push the bullet to the correct depth for the right overall length of the bullet and then crimp it (tighten the brass against/into the bullet) and bring it back to spec sizes thus removing any bulges from seating.this step is the biggest pia for me cuz it needs to be re-done for each different bullet style. some guys buy a diff seating/crimping die for each bullet type, and I can see why. I'd bet the crimping step is the cause of your problem. a very small bulge 1/1000" can cause a tight fit. hot loads and old/worn brass can stretch after firing and be hard to get out.
