Bursts may be a problem. I do have it set to multi shot but only firing single shots rather quickly. I'll have to pay more attention and see if I can narrow it down anymore. It doesn't seem to be the pre-curser to a permanent problem as it has happened throughout the life of the body. It's shot count is about 74,000 right now.
