This goes back 2 maybe 3 yrs..

The only truth is the revolver did go boom..

I googled this topic a couple yrs ago and found this:

my smith called me and said the ammo wasn't hot loaded at all, but that the "chamber" on the #2 was at fault.

it seemed to have been cut in a conical shape, where the back of chamber was too large diameter and front was a lil too small with a small lip of extra steel hanging out into line of bullet.

maybe someone forgot to inspect? or forgot to finish the machining?

i don't know, but i've contacted S&W's online support to see what they have
to say.

Slick Willie Clinton stop all imports of Chinese ammo as retaliation for Tiananmen Square protests of 1989.
Also I don't think the ATF and US Customs has never allowed China to import 44 mag ammo.
