Gentlemen I own a .357 texan lss, I shoot 164 grain (which is not a light bullet) cast bullets, and find them to be fairly accurate. However, I have found that quite often the first and sometimes second shot after a refill is very underpowered. So slow that my fx chrony won't even pick them up. I refer to them as dud shots. I have read the owners manual and I know they warn you about hammer lock, and they say it is a lot more likely with light bullets. I know about hammer lock and have experimented with lower pressures to avoid it.But it sometimes still happens at the lower pressures. I use this gun to hunt with and generally the first and maybe the second shots are all you are going to get. If they are duds, you have wasted your time. When shooting from a bench it's not that important, but my question is, have any of ya'll had this problem. And what have you done about it? Thanks for your replies.
