I have a model 19 and that model suffers from increased forcing cone wear and cracking of too short of OAL loads are used (eg 38special/light 357s. It is recommended I use 158 grain or higher bullets in my 19.
I would expect that the rationale would be the same for a 44mag/44spc if you are running the shorter 44spc loads.

I'll third the lead diagnoses.

There would be no forcing cone wear on the outer diameter of the barrel forcing cone.
This is lead residue pushed outward from the high pressure gasses that escape between cylinder and barrel gap. Should be easily removed by a dental pick or something similar. It may have been there before shooting it and be left over machine tooling edge. Last edited by ontmark; 12-04-2016 at 7:10 PM.. |

I agree with other members diagnosis. I saw forcing cone erosions on high mileage Smith 686 and Ruger GP 100s, that is not how they look. The edges are " more rounded " for lack of a better description, and you clearly see circumferential hairline cracks coinciding with the forcing cone area itself.

Try a brass brush and a cleaner of your choice. I've been using the mpro ,cleaner with good results.
Here's what force cone erosion usually looks like. This was from my Redhawk before I sent it in. The insides start chipping away. Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk |
