Posted by Unknown on Aug 8th 2020. Needed a new guide rod for 22mag casings they would get stuck in the cylinder and the lever on the rod eventually gave out. The replacement part is working flawlessly now and back to plinking. 6 shot cylinder Ruger Single Six 22 Magnum revolver. The fluted cylinder is in unused condition with no sign of cylinder drag lines. The cylinders are clean and show no sign of having been fired. It retains 100% of its original blue finish. The face of the cylinder does have the last 3 digits of the original serial number etched from the factory.

I recently bought a 30 carbine revolver with a leopold 4x on it, took it to the range today along with my 44 and spent more time trying to get the shell to come out than shooting.I had to take the cylinder out and then punch each one out with a pencil.
I used a brand new box of american eagle.30 carbine bullets 110 gr. fmj.
Is this a common problem with this caliber,is there a different brand of bullet out there that I could try.
THANKS

Yep, it is fairly common on the 30 carbine Blackhawk. Best solution I have found is to make sure the cylinder chambers are really clean... I have lightly polished by two carbines and still have a few now and then bind up. I have had fairly good luck with the american eagle carbine ammo though. The worst has been the Augila ( do not know if that is spelled right). The cases are to long on that stuff. Just my 2 cents.

As well as keeping the cylinder clean keep it oil free as well. Oil for storage. But prior to shooting run a patch soaked with denatured alcohol through the cylinder holes then a dry patch.

Just handload for it, step the velocity down a bit and problem solved.

Yep I shoot Mil. surplus in mine same problem.
I take out the cylinder and knock them out with the cyl. base pin. Much easier on the hands and ejector.

Welcome to the Forum, as said above, 'nature of the beast'...and IF , you can carefully polish or hone , the chambers, that will help, and the only thing that worked ALL the time for us was way back when Austin Behlert (rest his soul) was around, he would 'vapor hone' cylinders for us, when we had the shop, ,I think his son is running the business now and they may still offer/do that work....or even if you can find a local shop that offers that type of work.............we used to have to do that with 30 carbine, the 256 Win, and the 22 Jets...........

What is wrong with lightly oiling the cylinders?

nope.not good it causes something called 'hydraulics'????Nah, I think that was referring to semi autos, and the result was faulty 'extraction' , the result being the case was 'sucked into the chamber',kept from extracting....too many hypothosis to remember them all...... No oil in chambers was duly noted on all literature for the hawkeyes, and I recall others for the S&W 22 Jets.
Chambers are meant to be 'clean & dry...'
I know, I know, everyone has their OWN 'exceptions'............

Don't know the science behind not oiling the cylinder. But I know it works. My 480 SRH is a bit sticky with warm loads. Even when I cleaned and oiled as per my normal cleaning practices. Once I began degreasing the cylinder before shooting I have had no problems.

I think ya'll are on drugs! Metal on metal causes FRICTION. Oil decreases that friction. A semi-auto barrel and firing chamber is integral. Of course you lube the whole thing.

Lubing-up firing chambers probably aint a good habit to start.
Upon firing, the cartridge case is supposed to grip the chamber as much as possible. I don't know how oiling the chambers in a revolver effects things but I do know that doing so in a semi or bolt-gun increases bolt thrust.....which in turn, causes extra stress on the effected mechanical componants. As that aspect goes, it aint unlike the effects of raising chamber pressure.
Just sayin'.

The problem with the 22 Jet and oil is the opposite. Basically, the case would back out before gripping the chamber. So instead of expanding 'out', it would expand 'back' and then 'out'. And since the shoulder is heavily tapered, it would over-expand along that axis. The case would then have to be 'resized' to overcome the lock-up when rotating the cylinder.
When the oil is removed, there's enough friction for the brass to grip the sidewall (before it moves back, then out). Hiope this helps explain it.

Oil also collects crud burnted powder and lead creating more friction.
When I was in boot camp the first thing they told us about our m 16 was NO oil keeps them cleaner who knew?
IMO polish up the cylinders and wax em. They come out nice. To polish I use tooth paste lol. ps

WOW, I am going to have to cogitate on that awhile. How do you clean the chambers? if ya don't use some kind of oil?

Myself?....I use Hoppes #9, follwed by dry patches. Storage requires a bit of oil, but I'm carefull to remove it before putting the gun back into service.
