We have had lots of threads about cartridges over the years but I think the cartridge manufacturing industry has now sunk to a new low.
This past week has been horrendous.
Tuesday I witnessed a gentleman attempt to fire more than 50 Fiocchi FBlacks , every one had no powder in them, culminating in a stuck wad up the barrel , this after numerous times of lead shot trickling out of the barrel.
The week continued with various brands having hard primers and fails to fire , finally ending with Black Gold with the best display of poor manufacture I have ever seen , bulged crimps, open crimps , crushed wads, hard primers.
It is all very well suggesting to contact the manufacturers , but they can never repair the damage done to your confidence and the loss of enjoyment experienced of having a shoot totally ruined due to their lack of care.
These are all supposed to be quality , premium cartridges, but obviously with out any or very little quality control.
Is it beyond the realms of manufacturing procedures to ensure that powder hoppers are full to enable a production run to be successful?
