Re: Warning for shooter of lighweight revolver, esp. LCR

The recoil causes inertial pulling of the bullets. The light gun recoils so heavily that the bullet is jerked out of the case like in a hammer type bullet puller.

All guns do this to a certain extent that's the reason for crimping the bullet. The light weight snub nose guns just do it worse than most. I had a S&W Model 13 .357 magnum that would lock up if I didn't crimp my reloads hard enough.

Re: Warning for shooter of lighweight revolver, esp. LCR

Bullet jump is a real danger in lightweight revolvers shooting heavy bullets. In lightweight .357 Magnum J frame Smith and Wesson and Taurus revolvers bullets over 125 grains are not recommended. I won't carry or shoot 158 grain ammo in my .38 Taurus ultra light.
