BrowningDJC Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 Bought 250 of these a while ago for pigeons as these were all my local dealer had in fibre wad. Put some through my maxus today and every cartridge didnt eject. I know its not the gun as it cycles every thing else perfectly, 28 grams included. Just to be sure shot a couple of clear pigeon i had left over and it cycled them no problem. Anyone else had this issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

super sharp shooter Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 Tried these in 28g and 29g and they jam all the time. I think that the fibre wads swell the case causing it to jam in the chamber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrowningDJC Posted December 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 I keep the gun spotless, cleaned after every outing. Yes its been run in with heavier cartridges, and ive shot the 28 grams for clays no problems, its not the gun my point was maybe its a bad batch of cartridges? And the gun cycles all other fibre wads no problem, so its not that either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blasterjudd Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 Then it might be the size or softness of the brass heads ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandbank Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 No problems with either the 27g or 29g fibre with either of my Beretta semi-autos (AL390 and A300 Outlander) Mind you both a fully 'run-in'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selbyman Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 I bought a Maxus from Paul at Humberside shooting ground. I like the gun, it shoots and cycles well. The other day whilst speaking to his gunsmith John I was told that he had heard of a problem with the gun failing to cycle and eject properly. ( Can't remember if any specific cartridge was mentioned ). The problem was apparently caused by felt wad cartridges which were loaded with a felt wad that was undersized thus allowing gasses to escape up the barrel past the wad, thus the bleed off, of the gasses to cycle the action was reduced, resulting in the problem you outlined. Change of cartridge required methinks. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrowningDJC Posted December 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 Could be the problem then, i took the rest back and swapped them for some clear pigeon so all should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
