The new H&H ammunition has had numerous issues, so no on that as well I'm afraid. H&H dropped the ball on there new paradox in my view.

generalwar - What issues would those be? Please elaborate.

I have some knowledge of the ammunition and I have shot it, or watched it shot, out of several Paradox guns and on many occasions with very good results. Guns ran the gamut from an 1888 hammer Paradox reproofed for nitro, through various Royal ejector and non-ejector Paradox from the early 1900s, all the way up to a couple of new ones built on the round action sidelock.

I have fired over 250 rounds of the new H&H factory loads and I have never experienced an errant round, misfire, failure to extract or any other problem whatsoever with the ammo. I have shot it over a chronograph, and shot it on paper at various distances. Goofing around, I've shot logs, concrete blocks, and gongs (sometimes it rips them right off the supports!). I also used the new H&H ammo to take a nice little blacktail deer at 96 paces last year. The shot hit where aimed and performance was in and out. That is consistent with what others have reported from the field.

Last August I watched thirteen shooters fire the ammo, which was provided with the cost of entry, at the H&H Paradox competition in Washington state. There were no issues at all.

I took my 1911 Royal to California a few months back and let five people shoot it with the new H&H ammo. Again, no issues.

And, recently I took the gun to a big bore shoot in Bend, Oregon. I walked the course and fired the factory ammunition at life size targets that were charging, popping up, swinging, and stationary. The ammo performed flawlessly. I wish I could say the same for myself.

Nevertheless, if you have first-hand knowledge of issues or complaints, I would very much like to hear what they are.
