I've had the same issue with black clouds, over crimped. I even had on box of #2 black clouds that had crimps folded completely into the wad and no shot. The sent me a voucher to replace them, nobody would take it. Kent is good but tends to rust faster than most shells. I tried a box of the Remington Hyper Sonics, don't like them it sheared a magazine retaining plug on one of my guns. Winchester Blindside is OK but too pricey.  I do like the blue box or red box of Federals, I have not had an problem with them at all.

Federal red box is all I shoot. Now that Rogers has it back In stock after last year when I couldn't get it I tried fiocci warlock and wasn't impressed. My gun didn't pattern it well and I had a squib load and I only4 boxes.

The shot charge is by weight not volume so keep this in mind also. The crimp could be better, I agree but they've shot darn well for me for 4 - 5 yrs now. Early to mid season I shoot Kent without a hitch. Over 15 yrs w/Kent - no problems.

Winchester has been nothing but issues. Between me and some friends we have had five different shotguns of different manufacturers have issues with Winchester shells.
