I have a Ruger Single Six, stainless, .22LR/.22mag. Was at the range the other day, noticed two things I had not seen before - although it’s been a few years since I’ve shot it.
With the .22mag cylinder, ejection was not free. The ejector rod is not quite long enough to push the .22mag cases fully out, and they would hang up at the last 1/8” or so.
With the .22LR cylinder, some brands of ammo hung up on loading, as the brass just started to enter the chamber. Winchester was bad, CCI seemed OK. May have only been a couple of chambers, but it was a PITA.
Looked at the chambers with a loupe, do not see any obvious burrs. They have sharp edges, though. Wondered if breaking the edges slightly with a countersink or scraper, or polishing out with emery paper, would be a mistake. Any thoughts?
