I cleaned the gun up real good and shot two different kinds of ammo through it without any problems at all. The first ones I shot were Hornaday, 454 Casull, 240gr., XTP/MAG, Item #9148 which had a pretty good kick. The next ones I shot were Winchester 454 Casull, 250gr., Super-X, Jacketed Hollow Point which did not kick near as much. In each case, I filled the entire cylinder with 5 bullets, and then was able to easily eject the shells by pushing on the ejector rod like it's supposed to work. Thanks for everyone's advice. Take care.
