bunny_blaster Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 I’ve seen a few posts on Facebook with the same problem as this but with Eley .410 cartridges. It’s always been with mossberg pumps though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker570 Posted August 22, 2022 Report Share Posted August 22, 2022 As most on here know I shoot almost nothing else but 410 and normally shoot about 20 days a year driven, so go through a lot of shells. I have had a lot of burnt ends on shells, always on red plastic various makes but never on Fiocchi green. I have never had a case head come off and I shoot a Mossy pumper as well as o/u and sbs. This is over around seven years of exclusively shooting 410. Something drastically wrong with the chell manufacture. Do the cartridge makers buy their shells from outside companies? China perhaps.

Jimbo yorks Posted August 22, 2022 Report Share Posted August 22, 2022 Most production lines run on either cheddite or ficochi hulls in the uk. Gamebore runs on a mixture of cheddite and b&p Eley run off maxams own cases. All manufactured in Europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIGHTCHOKE Posted August 23, 2022 Report Share Posted August 23, 2022 Well obviously Holmes and Watson must have had an epic adventure involving Express .410" cartridges and we've all forgotten, or missed the lesson through playing truant!
