For those who don't shoot loads with fiber wads, another concern--especially with reloads--is hull separation. I've only had it happen a few times, but you'll know immediately with a double if one of your empties is only the brass head of the shell, or maybe the head and only a portion of the hull. Every time it's happened with me, the rest of the hull has cleared the barrel. But that's not always the case . . . and I often worry about people shooting autos or pumps, who may not realize what has happened when their gun ejects the empties. (Also possible you won't know with a double when you're shooting a flurry, because you're not trapping your empties.) There's usually a distinctive sound that accompanies hull separation, but you may miss it in the heat of the moment when shooting a flurry.
