Dibs Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 (edited) I went to my local shop Friday to buy some F Blacks and they have very little in the way of Fiocchis at present as had to send loads back with mis fire issues! Leaving stuff in the barrels was mentioned. last lot of F BLU's from there that I bought (2000) no problems at all.

figgy Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 I've had a few failures, even had my gun serviced and the fire pins altered to get better strikes in case it was my gun at fault, never a problem with other makes, still had miss fires with the F-Blacks. Nice cartridges just to frustrating when you get click nothing in a competition. Figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matone Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 Just put my gun in for service after getting missfires with Super Sporting fibres.About 5 per 100 shells,now wonder if the gun was ok ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackthorn Posted May 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 think I may have to try some other shells to se what is happening, if its still happening its a trip to the gun shop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safc1973 Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 Had problems with Fiocchi Top 1s. 2 out 250 misfired and when i mentioned it to the RFD he said a couple of other customers had the same problem. Never had misfires with any other cartridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westward Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 I do, just hoping its not the firing pin What gun is it? Replacing FPs on a Browning/Miroku is a minor job which some people do as matter of course every 10-12K rounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azzurri Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 I stopped using FBlacks for the same reason, more misfire's with them than any other cartridge i've used...ever !!! I replaced the pins in my Browning which did help but I also think the primers varied from batch to batch. They are good carts when they go bang and I shot one of my highest scores at registered sporting with them, but the level of doubt whilst you're trying to put a score together is something you just don't need. I know people who shoot FBlack through Beretta and they seem to go off without problem. Azzurri. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've used just over six thousand FBlack 24gm since last October. Possible different primer in the 24gm perhaps ? I never had a misfire with Golden Trap 28gm but they're just a bit dear for me, great shell though !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackthorn Posted May 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 Went and got both my firing pins done at rugby guns £40 all in, the bottom pin was worn enough to give a problem on a low primer Shot a 50 bird sporting today and no problem with misfires Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westley Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 I shot a 50 birder today too. Absolutely no misfires...............................they were Hull Superfast though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOLDCREST Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 I get occasional misfires with Hard primers on Fiocchi Top one 28gm...Shot through a Beretta White Onyx 12gauge...Usually one misfire in 100 carts or so....Looks like a light strike by the firing pin....My gunsmith pal puts it down to the odd hard primer....Not a great problem, but it spoils the flow, if you know what I mean.

Ocean Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 (edited) I've shot thousands of FBlu through my Guerini and not had one misfire. I know people have had problems with Mirokus but the pins replaced usually sorts it. I prefer the FBlu to the FBlack but no science behind that. Good shell at a good price.
