.32 ACP in a .327 magnum
warren209:
FINAL RESULT: Ruger was able to repair and clean the gun without charging me anything. They returned the gun with the following paragraph that I wished I had known sooner.
RUGER: "Caliber specific firearms that allow the user to shoot different calibers will require the cylinder get a good scrub with a brush. The chambers could be fouled down near the bottom due to the shorter case length. When shooting shorter cartridges in larger caliber specific handguns, a ring of carbon will build up significantly and severely affect extraction of spent cases. It may also prevent the larger caliber from seating in the chamber properly."

Wow, you did not know you have to clean the cylinder of a revolver after shooting to promote smooth ejection, Wow

Is it really nessisary to insult the OP with this post??
I try to remember what Thumpers mother told Thumper in the movie Bambi.

I've heard that to a certain percent, the same thing can happen from shooting 38s in a 357 magnum. I personally never noticed it but I give my guns a good cleaning after shooting.
