A question for the more experienced revolver shooters out there:
I have a steel frame .36 Navy made by Uberti. My standard load is 18-20 grains of FFF then a felt wad then the .380 ball. I have noticed that over time the safety pins/nubs between the nipples have worn flat somewhat and that there are corresponding impact spots on the front surface of the steel frame. They're not leaving dents, but have worn the finish there. It seems the cylinder is moving a little bit when the charge is set off (seems so from the impact points). Is this normal? When I cock the hammer, the cylinder locks up tight front-back.
