    Shooting TT’s at the minute are they much faster than Jose do you know? Just looking to up the speed a little to see how I go. Also are they thumpy?

    Worth the little extra for me anyway

    I've used F Blacks a good bit, also bought from Red Mills, and delivered by courier.
    Great cartridge in my opinion, but every so often (1 in 75) I get a mis-fire.
    Primer dented, but didn't go off. Always fires on 2nd attempt.
    Gun has never done it with any other brand I've used.

    is it a browning / Miroku ? seems to happen with them maybe a shorter firing pin.
    i have shot over 10,000 fblacks with my current gun without a single failure so fairly unliklely to be the cartridges. but it did happen the odd time with my old miroku before i changed the pins and springs
