When I load the Vaquero, the cylinder will spin without any issues. But, when I fire, the second round through five are dragging making it difficult to rotate the cylinder. I can use my off hand to turn the cylinder into firing position, but it turns hard.
The primers are just barely backed out of their pocket in the offending revolver. The primers in the second identical 44-40 are still in-place after shooting as-well-as the primers in the rifle.
I am shooting Goex FFFG in these.
I thought possibly the cylinder rod was coming slightly out, so I replaced the cylinder rod, latch pin nut, latch pin body and put in the extra strong latch pin spring, but that did not help.
What are your thoughts to correct this issue? Especially since Ruger has not manufactured these for years.
