every year it seems like there is a blackcloud issue. 
I will not use it anymore after having some over crimped or under crimped and all the shot fell out. I heard of a guy opening day that had a wad stuck half way up the tube it had enough power to rack the next round thanfully the guy thought something was wrong and did pull the trigger on the next round.
I don't normaly use Federal stuff. But I have to admit, the Black Cloud has had more flat dead birds hit the water than anyting else I have shot.
Thank being said, Thank for sharing Terrellwa!!!
