Update on Monarch 115gr steel
Ran only about ~100 till my battery compartment fell out, my mistake, had one failure to eject on those 100 round at around 70 rounds, no failures to feed, the cartridge primer seem to get stuck in the striker, had to knock out the round, don’t know if this is my striker needing more wearing in, since my gun only has ~500 rounds, or this is a soft primer issue, the rounds did end up shooting sparky, enough where the range master stopped me and asked what I was shooting, like people mentioned before it seemed to run dirty, but in another way, not the way that it covers your gun in powder, but in residue flakes, personally I’m gonna finish this box and go to blazer, the strange sparks, plus failure to eject, and weird residue (not the usual gunk of gun powder, seemed to run more than hot to be able to clear it, but left some other metal like residual when inspected closer seemed to be some dust…), I did choose the “made in Brazil” box and all seemed to check out with it looking like magtech, maybe I’ll give the brass box a shot since it’s now at the same price and seemed to be the same cartridge and primer in marking
