Revolver shell ejection question

[pullnshoot25]

So I noticed that on my Taurus Tracker .44mag that when I pushed the ejector rod to knock out the empties, I got 2 or so "stragglers" that I had to manually extract by hand, albeit not forcefully. Is this a break-in thing (this gun has only 75rds through it) or should I send it to have the cylinder holes chamfered?

Edit: Taurus said they would chamfer the cylinder holes for me. Maybe I will wait until I use this a little more, eh?

I assume your pointing the barrel up at least 45 degrees while extracting and hitting the extractor briskly?

I may be wrong, but I always considerred cylinder chamferring was done for faster loading with speed loaders, not for extraction. Chamber polishing helped with extraction.

Ok, here is an even better question to pose, since this is my primary carry piece and matching sidearm to go with my new .44Mag levergun. Should I send it in and have them polish AND chamfer the cylinder holes? I use speedloaders and I don't want to mess around with extraction or reloading.

Anything else I might have them do when I send it in?

[dgey]

shouldn't you break in the gun before having any work done to it...? I could be wrong here..? just my .02

[pullnshoot25]

I called them today and for cosmetic issues, it is a year warranty with anything else covered for life after that. The guy said that chamfering wouldn't be an issue and I am assuming that polishing the chambers wouldn't be either.

Another question... when I send my gun to Taurus, do I have to send it overnight or can I send it regular?

You are supposed to ship it next day air.

Unless they pay for the shipping it gets expensive quick on that account alone. It sounds like the rims of the cases are slipping off the extractor. That's about the worse thing to happen as far as quick reloads go. How quick and forcibly are you hitting the extractor rod when ejecting the empties and are you holding the pistol pointed straight up to make it easiest for the cases to drop straight out?

[smle-man]

Unless the chambers are rough I wouldn't polish them. The case needs to 'stick' properly to the chamber to effectively seal the gases. As someone wrote, be sure to tip the revolver up and briskly work the ejector rod. The revolver will work in after several hundred rounds. See how it is then.

The same thing happens in most of my S&Ws that I run nice, hot .38 +P+ rounds through after 100 or so rounds; the cylinder heats up and my empties start to get a little sticky and I need to let it cool down. If I run the Miwall plinking reloads through 'em, never a problem - so I might ask, are you shooting some hot .44mag loads out of it?

I don't think chamfer the cylinder holes is warranty work. I would get a local smith to do the job.

Shipping both ways overnight air is 1/3 the price of your gun.

have you marked the chambers (use a sharpie)that cause the problems and see if they do the same thing depending on if they are in board or outboard at the time of eject
