Given good shells, the new autoloaders with their gas systems and bleed offs will most often shoot 1000 plus without a malfunction, and then do it again.

To think a well made pump should or would be any less reliable is unreasonable. Of course many think operating a pump takes some sort of black magic.

If this one had been made right, it wouldn't be close if you compared the two for malfunctions that were not caused by the user.
