The B & P Comp Ones are a great shells as long as you aren't using a gun in which you get misfires. When I first learned about them I bought 3 flats. I immediately began to experience, maybe one in ten, light strikes. I tried other guns, got the same results. Measured firing pin protrusion, no problems there. Mike mentioned to me once that he had seen issues with misfires at his range with them.
Finally I found two guns that never misfire with them, an Iver Johnson Special Trap, and a double hammer gun. Odd thing is that both of them have external hammers.
There's a new kid on the block, though. New to me at least. Armusa Classico 2 1/2" loads that, according to the data I looked up, are at 6100 psi, and have 6% antimony. I will likely be ordering some soon to try.
Armusa shells are very high quality and have been used to win world championships. Serious live pigeon shooters in other countries hold Armusa in very high regard, according to a friend of mine who shoots live pigeons worldwide.
