I just tried my new Ruger stainless Flat Top .45 Colt/.45 ACP convertible out with the ACP cylinder, and I had problems with the cylinder binding up due to brass backing out of the chambers as I loaded it. This was Federal American Eagle 230 gr FMJ ammo. Maybe it is an issue with the muzzle not being pointed down while loading, but I have never had this issue with any other Blackhawks I've owned and still own. If I made sure the cartridges were fully seated, kept the muzzle lowered and shut the loading gate before raising the muzzle...there seemed to be no issue. Anyone else run into this?
Unfortunately, I did not have the .45 Colt cylinder or ammo with me on this trip, so I will check that out next weekend.
