Finally got a new Laramie (6 1/2" nickle) to go with my 2 Schofields.  The gun is great and I was very happy to find it would accept Starline Schofield brass.  However, the gun began to run sluggish and bind after about 50 rounds of smokeless loaded with WW231.  My Schofields run fine with APP, but if the Laramie binds on smokeless, makes me doubt its usefulness with the subs.
Anyone else have a binding problem with smokeless in their Laramie?

No.
I run WW231 in mine and have had no problems. It does not like black, however, and binds up within the first 5 rounds or so.

Haven't seen a Uberti breaktop yet that would run with black.  One of my Schofields will go 1 1/2 cylinders before locking up, the other won't even go the 5 shots.  But I've not had a bit of trouble with APP or any of the other subs, let alone smokeless.  Maybe the Laramie just needs a break in.
