I'll be searching for images of primers showing over pressure, but my question here is about cases being slow or difficult to eject from a revolver.
I put together 25 each 10.8 gr, 11 gr, 11.2 gr and 11.4 gr AA#7 under plated X-treme Bullets 158 gr flat nose bullets. The brass ejected easily from my 686+ and 627 PC at first later they became more difficult.
In my M66 the brass was difficult from the first. I was concerned as I know that I get higher velocities from the M66 and thought the pressure might be in the gray area. I did a wire brush of the chambers and all became good for a while.
I usually shoot .38 spl in the same revolvers and there is little to no degradation in ejecting even over hundreds of rounds.
Am I seeing overpressure indications or just normal increase in ejection resistance due to heating or dirt?
