I've either got some bad luck, or the failure rate on cartos is higher than I would have expected. From about 5 different sources I've been buying cartos, both pre-punched and un-punched. They've been mostly boge 510s.
I'm going to have to start keeping track, but I'm starting to realize that I've got a nearly a 25 to 30% failure rate on these things. This seems a tad ridiculous. What kind of failure rate are the rest of you seeing? I was keeping a little closer track these last couple weeks and the last box of 5 had two bad ones. 40% right there. This has been more or less a constant, at least one bad one per box.
