I just do not know what is going on at Eley at the moment.
This past week I have had a lot of issues with Olympics, Primers that appear to have been struck, Primers with caps missing, bulged wads in the cases not allowing cartridge into chamber, holes in crimp allowing shot to leak out, boxes sealed at top but not at bottom, take a box of 25 out of a slab and deposit cartridges onto floor. Mentioned it to my retailer who said he is having massive problems with Eley Firsts , has contacted Eley but they don't seem too bothered. I am currently collecting all my duff ones and will be taking them back to Eley.
I pay £168 per thousand but currently with the failures it will be equating to about about £210 per thousand that actually work.
