Anyone use NSI shells before?

Post by JustShootIt » Wed Mar 05, 2014 6:13 pm

My hunting partner bought a case of these for rabbit season this year. Seem like a decent shell, but he was getting a lot of misfires while hunting (shell not going off) Initially we blamed the gun, even ordered new firing pin, spring etc...After replacing, he was still having issues...Turns out primers in some of these are awful hard. They seem to work fine in single shot and over unders. About 2 out of 10 wouldn't fire in his Belgium Browning...same shell put in my single shot would fire.

I guess this is more of a public service announcement for anyone that may own or decide to purchase some in the future.....a friendly "heads up"

Here's a pic of the ones we had problems with:

Primer is seated too deep in shell
