I had a similar problem to Buze - with Gamebore Pure Gold 32gm 5's fibre. An astonishing amount of unburnt powder flakes in the barrels after each shot. So many of these flakes fouled the chambers that the cartridges would not eject from my Beretta. This proved to be a real problem on that rare occasion I was actually in the hot spot on a driven day. Birds streaming over unsaluted whilst I was desperately trying to claw cartridges out of the gun. The cartridges had been stored in a warm dry room. I shook a heap of unburnt powder out of the barrels and sent it off to Gamebore. Waiting to hear what they say!! (The company have also said they will exchange the remaining cartridge batch. I shall opt for Black Gold, with which I have never had any problems. I have also purchased a pocket-sized chamber brush, should there ever be a recurrence).

Of course. As I said, GMK have acknowledged that they have a problem with the ejectors on this marque. You can see examples of other shooters with the same problem on other sites, for example: http://www.shootinguk.co.uk/guns/281356/Be...gun_review.html You are fortunate that this has not yet manifested on your gun. If it does, let's hope it happens within the warranty period. If it happens after that, at least you will have these posts as evidence of a systemic problem with the marque. Cheers.

The ejectors on my new Perennia SV10 stopped ejecting after one round of sporting clays. They stick and need a tap to make em chuck out the spent cartridge cases. Very annoying. GMK acknowledge that Beretta have a manufacturing problem and say they will fix the gun. My mate who had the same problem says his gun is now going to have to go back again because the first fix did not work. Berettas are usually very reliable but the SV10 line seems to be spoiling the company reputation for reliability. Come on Beretta, get this sorted. It is a pity, because like other people I have found that the Perennia shoots beautifully.

The Middlesex still exists. It is the UKs longest established woodpigeon shooting club. However, ironically all the club farms are now in Surrey. The club has no land in Middlesex. Funny old world!
