I've never used Kent's but one of the fellows that hunts with us does, and had been through 4 cases of 'em over a few years and was happy, until last year. He had a base separate from the hull, weird deal just the Brass base sitting in his gun after he shot...I haven't seen that in quite a few years (since I was a kid in fact)...used to be fairly common (at least more than now), but it really unnerved him...still that's only 1 in 1000, so I wouldn't let it bother me that much.
