Open Gun Brass Problem

[Fireant]

Well, I was trying out different spring combinations tonight and had a problem. I have two barrels fitted for my gun. One is a trubor in 38 super and the other is a bar sto in s8 super with a bedell comp. With the barsto barrel I was having problems with a few pieces of brass getting wedged between the slide and the hood of the barrel. It happens with just about any spring weight. 7, 8, 9, and 10. any ideas what would cause this and how do you fix it? The problem does not happen with the other barrel.

what is your oal if you have room to load longer that will help

also look at the ramp on both barrels and see if there the same.

its not hard to recut a ramp.

just a couple of things to look at.

Thanks. I'm loading about as long as I can already. The ramps look the same. I pulled the extractor and cleaned the channel tonight thinking that could be it. We'll see in the morning.

I am thinking extractor needs adjusting but you said loading as long as you can?? 1.240 is normal and 1.250 is usually max OAL. I know books say more but I found out this length is ideal

[Fireant]

I had been told that 1.250 was the longest I could load and I'm at about 1.245.

[BSeevers]

I think your extractor needs tightened. Just a little

Not to drift the thread, but what is

s8 super

?

Is the barrel link the same in both barrels. Sounds like an unlocking issue to me. The other possibility is a chamber that is a tad too tight on the failing barrel.
