Curious, do you have a hammer spur on a pre- pro hunter frame??
Yes I do, I’ve had the same one on for 15 years
Yes it’s a pre-pro hunter frame
Bingo...we have a winner.
I guess I don't understand your conclusion. Why do you think that? Is something broken in the frame because of it, or should I just remove it? This is essentially the only rifle I have hunted with for over a decade with no issues until now. I also shoot 500-1000 rounds of .22LR ammo thru it annually to keep me in practice. The only thing that has changed is loading the .357 Max with Jamison brass vs. Remington brass.
I believe it's a head space issue, and I will fix that with shims.
