Estate 9mm 115 grain FMJ ammo FTE issues

I have a Beretta BU9 Nano that until now has not had single failure with any of the ammo I've put through it. So far over 700 rounds of various ammo like Blazer Brass, PMC, and lots of American Eagle (and a few boxes of ammo I can't remember) all mostly 115 grain, some 124 and 147 with no problems. I finally got 1000 rounds of Estate and went to the range this morning. I was pretty surprised when I could barely get through a mag without a FTE. I used 2 different mags and had the same issue with both. I even notice how slow some of the spent cases are ejecting. I checked out other user reviews for Estate before buying and it looked pretty good. I even used a couple of boxes of Estate in the past with no problems. I'm wondering if Estate has made a bad run of this. Anyone else using Estate 9mm ammo lately?

I went back to the range two more times since. The second time was better but still had a lot of failures. Today I shot 200 rounds of Estate and had only 4 failures. I also shot 50 rounds of Federal 115 grain with no failures. I could live with an average of 1 FTE a box but won't be buying Estate again. Especially since it wasn't any cheaper than any other good brand ammo.

It's light compared to any 9mm ammo I've used. There was a noticeable difference in recoil when I loaded the Federal ammo. Until Estate, my Nano has spit out everything I've put through it without any failures. I'll just avoid it next time.
