Shot shell incomplete burn

Mossbergboogie
Never had problems with shotgun shell leaving powder in the barrel till a coupld days ago.. The hulls them selves were rather dirty and there where bits of disc powder left behind in the barrel.

Is this just cheap craftsmanship or ignition problems?

EDIT: These were remington Hi-speed steel the sportsman label. 20ga 2.75 number 7 shot. They fired off fine no squibing. Just a couple of powder discs still took me off gaurd.

    If you are shooting this type/brand shotshell for the first time, and if you didn't sense a 'squib' type shot when you discharged the firearm, then you should be good to go with it.

    Inspect the remaining shells for poor crimp, and overpowder wad placement. Sometimes you can 'candle' a shotshell like a farmer does to eggs.

    Best, Joe

    You said FACTORY . By any chance are these Brands not made in the U.S.A some brands of Foreign ammo has very dirty Powder because of the low pressure in Shot Shells you get a lot of unburnt and smoke.

    Not unless remington is outsourcing.. I stick with remington and federal for the most part. Haven't shot anything else other than Winchester and that I have had multiple problems with.
