Larry, do you see that lead build up on the front of the cylinder when using hard cast bullets? I can never see an actual measurable amount of lead on the cylinder face, even with full tilt magnum loads.
My Python does blow bullet lube (melted bee's wax) back into the cylinder pin axis from the front though, and that will gum up the works after 100 rounds of full magnum 160 LSWC's. There is noticeable resistance in turning the cylinder (even with the cylinder swung out) after it cools off and the wax solidifies again. I then have to remove the crane and then the cylinder to get that cleaned out. That's kind of a pain, but I've never figured any way to avoid it as long as I'm shooting those full magnum LSWC's out of the Python.
