Just got a new Redhawk 8 shot .357. Ive now shot 24 rounds with 3 different brands and bullet styles. It is “spitting” and hitting me in the face and arm. I even have some small burns or cuts on my arm.
I am going to call Ruger tomorrow and send it to them.
I was just wondering what could be causing it. I know timing can cause it but why is it sending fragments backward.

Thanks as always.

barrel/cylinder gap is too big it will spit lead, copper or unburned powder back at the shooter. Send it back to Ruger. They will make it right.

Thanks

Back in the 70's while I was stationed in Germany that did the same thing. Had to send it back to S&W, took a couple of months but when I got it back is shot great. There were about 8 of us that bought them and mine was the only one that had problems. When I got it back the action was slicked up and it shot better groups than any of the others.

Heading back
