Guest cookoff013 Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 did you check the primer was dented? did you check the condition of the primer face? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salopian Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 Please clarify . Was it a genuine hang fire or a fail to fire ? Fail to fire in Brownings / Miroku's usually indicates a light blow from the firing pin . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Rabbit Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 Hang fires or misfires? I'm seeing more and more hard primers for some reason. We've recently chewed through 2k of Cheddites with 2/3 misfires in each box. It happened in a range of different guns and all went off on the second attempt. Gamebore also use Cheddite primers. I imagine out of the millions they produce its bound to happen. It just takes the material used to be a tiny fraction too thick to cause problems. Its just strange that it now seems more common. It happens in batches so buy from a different supplier next time and all will be well. P.s,don't think buying top end shells cures the problem. It doesnt! I've seen plenty Black Golds etc go click!

Guest cookoff013 Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 hang fire = firing a few seconds after hammer strike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 Fail to fire is bad enough a hang fire is bloody off putting and dangerous, i had it happen a couple of times. The first time i took the gun out of my shoulder after it failed to fire, it then went off bruising my finger and dropped the gun. second time i kept the gun in shoulder for a bit before dismounting and pointing it to the ground it went off after a while but more of a fizzle that just cleared the barrel.

Hamster Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 I've had a single ftf after maybe 5-6k rounds of these which is no different to any other brand but then I use a Beretta . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPhantom Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 I’ve had no problems with this shell with over 3k put through my Browning so far. Can’t see me changing anytime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haggis Posted April 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 Just to clarify the cartridge fired but only a fraction later than expected enough to miss the target but not enough to remove gun from shoulder On 18/04/2018 at 08:53, cookoff013 said: hang fire = firing a few seconds after hammer strike.

Grange1905 Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 I tend to have 1-3 in a slab that just wouldn't go off first time. I thought it was the firing pin, but 3 slabs of different make cartridges went through without any issues since. All gamebores were bought same shop and same shippment. Will wait for a new delivery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haggis Posted May 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 I think its my gun as its happened with 2 other types of cartridge. Im trying to find more info. Someone told me there was a recall for this on 725. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
