Nobel ammo doesn’t always go bang!?

Does anyone else out there have reports of bad boxes of Nobel?

 

I’ve never had it not go bang. I have had them throw flames out of the breach of my A400 and not eject shells in my summit. Really dirty too. I quit using them a few years ago. I’m shooting clevers now and they have been very reliable.

 

I read they have hard primers, try it in another gun maybe it will go off.

 

Shot them for years with great results. Would buy more if I could find them.

 

Nothing recent at all and we shoot tons of them. Very happy with them. Federals on the other hand....

 

It could be the gun and not the shells. What gun are you using?

 

Never tried them -- Hope thy work --club just got in 250 flats -- only shell we could get this spring

 

had a flat go bad like that, that i bought in an academy sports store in little rock in 2017. 2 per box ftf. went click regardless of what gun a shot it out of.
ever since, i look at it and remember the first two letters in the name and pass it by.

NO-

 

I've found the recoil on Nobel a bit harsh for my liking as well. Estate does have a 1 oz. load doing 1180 that I've come to prefer. I've been meaning to try the B&P's with the Gordon system, but I'm having trouble paying 1/2 again as much for them.

 

The only brand shells that misfire in my K80. I will pass on them.

 

yep....had nobles ftf in my k32 as well. punctured primers too.
