Something wrong with the gun?

Well, I'm not an expert, but it could well be that the ammo is getting weak, the recoil impulse being the reason I'm saying this. Ammo lasts a long time, as I'm sure you know, but a lot of how it lasts is based on storage conditions I'm told.

A side by side comparison with known good ammo seems in order.

Major danger, I think, is possibly getting a bullet stuck in the barrel if underpowered and firing another or several more after it without being aware of the non-exiting bullets.

I spoke to the former Speer tech a few years ago who told me they sectioned one barrel a customer sent in and found so many bullets in the barrel they eventually filled it and stopped the cylinder rotation on his revolver.
