Ruger Gp100 7 Shot Problems - Currently we are talking about how it's a known issue that ruger gp100 7 shot has an issue with within spec ammo fitting the cylinder, rendering the newest gp100 model a 3. Now the bad news. My gp100, 7 shot, won't work with armscor 158 grain, 38 special ammo. When loading the seventh round the case rims touch each other. My gp is an old (1996) model. If i were after a seven shot today, i would look to s&w, lock and all. It is a fine revolver. I would start by looking for one of them, if you get rid of the ruger. When ruger came out with their 7 shot, they kept the same size cylinder as the six shot gp with an extra chamber. The saami specs for. 357 case rim diameter is: Max =. 440, min =. 430. I have a. 357 gp100 and have never had any problems with several different brands, not super expensive stuff either. Currently working my way through some new load. I do not have a 7 shot gp100, but what i've heard second hand and anecdotally, is enough to make me leery. There's been multiple threads on the ruger forum about problems.
