I think you need to do a chamber cast and see what you really have, just from knowing how they are made and chambered it would be hard for me to believe you have a neck that is .020 short in yours.  I would look to other problems with the closing.  Larry

I think you need to measure the neck length and the chamber face to the sholder, my guess is the chamber is short.  For the neck to be short and the chamber the proper length to the sholder, the reamer used would have to have a short neck ground into it.  Then there would be hundreds of these short neck chambers out there, plus the maker of the reamer would have had to make it short and then ship it to H&R and have H&R QC miss it.  I just doubt you have what you think you have.  Larry

OP,
You DO know you can suppress a 357 magnum handi...DIDN'T YOU?
yhm wraith 9mm will bring the levels of a hot 357 to a 22 lr during warm days and a tad louder on cold nights..38 is sub and can't be heard over 75 yards away.
In my experiences anyhow..

BTW, 158 gr flat nose at 175 WILL take a coyote when backed by 16 gr H110.......
Those pesky 125 gr HP's just bounce right off. Something about the momentum or something.
