Me too. I've had problems with those shells and a couple of bloopers. This is from about 3 boxes. If you ever get them wet, they're toast.

I like Kent's.

7-8 years ago before many people started shooting them, Estate shells were awesome. Since then they've been bought out (I think by Federal), and that's when they really went downhill. Estate couldn't keep up with the demand. At one time, a dealer told me they were something like 30,000 cases back-ordered. Can't blame them for selling out; that's just business.

I have had some bad luck with Winchester expert. What is wrong with estate shells? I have shot them several times with no problems.

I don't know about estates cartriges I haven't shot any. But I bought a box of Kent Tungston Matrix to try this year and I think two out of ten actually shot! WTF? Anyone else had this happen with these? what did you do? I am thinking of taking them back to MM and asking for an exchange. I think I saved most of the no bangs with dents on their caps and all.

I would have to say federal makes by far the worst shot and that also explains estate if they were bought out by federal.

The low brass blue Federals worst

Ex-spuurts by Winchester worser
