Estate shotshells

Had an Estate shell misfire, I shoot a pump and upon squeezing the trigger my natural reflex is to pump the gun. I did so but stopped at about half way. The next thing that happens wasn't pretty. The shell goes off in the ejection port and sends a peice of the brass through my nuckle. The delay from trigger pull to detonation was 2 seconds. Has this happen to anyone else. Sure scared the heck out of me. Ears rang for two days. I was really lucky that the ejection port was pointed in a safe direction. Just a heads up.

Woowee! Glad you didn't get seriously hurt. Had they gotten wet? I've only shot a few Estate, but had no misfires yet.

These shells have not seen the water. We were at the deer camp and decided to pattern our guns with different shot. Go figure.

I shot Estate shells all of last year and part of this year without any problems. The Estate shells that I have shot this year were leftover from lastyear. The only reason I am not shooting them now is because Simmon's Sporting Goods had that big sale on Federal shells earlier in the year.

Ouch. Glad you're ok.

I love Estate shells, I'm really sorry to hear that.

Go to outlaw.com and order the italian B&P shells. They burn clean, hit harder than any shell I have ever shot (& I have shot a lot of em) and they are specially designed to have less recoil, best of all they are dirt cheap.

I ordered a case last season late and shot a few and really liked em. That is all I shot this year and they are duck devastating. They almost remind me of the knockdown power of lead.

I second the Vandal, The B&P shells have really supprised me. I bought two cases and and made my way through one of them flawlessly. I will shoot them as long as they are available.

I bought some Estate shells last year and will never buy any again. I bought two boxes and at least 10 shells out of those 50 would jam in my chamber after shooting. My ejector would rip clean through the ejector rim. Never had this happen with any other ammo before or since. Estate said it was my gun. That ammo sucks.....

A friend of mine has been using Estates and can not hit a thing. I kind of like it because I've been killing his ducks. I've been using Kent bb and 2 and been wearing them out. For the price I'll stay with them.

bleed,

Shoot a case of the B&P and you will never buy another kent. I shot the Kents for 3 seasons but the B&P's have em beat both in price and performance... :lol:

I've shot kents for the last several years, this year I bought estates. I've had no problems and they seem to "hit" just fine.

Bleed,

I got 300 rounds of #2 steel 3" mags for 78.92 delivered to the door. That is a case and 2 boxes for you boys that can't count.

That is better than 9 per box bubba
:shock:
