I like the results from the Aurora 800, the plastic cassette gave me some trouble. It needed some assistance to drop into the M4-2 and for some reason, the leader kept slipping out of the tulip. The camera is still loaded with it and I have a couple of more rolls. It's been a fun experiment and recomended if you need a high speed color film.
One more roll to scan, so more images coming.

Is the film leader trimmed like a regular film eg TriX, Gold, HP5 etc? Or is it just cut at a slant?

It’s cut with a tongue like most film. My best guess is the cassette was kinda snug in the feed side well and it may have shifted just a bit when attaching the baseplate causing the film to slip through the slots on the tulip. After it happened a couple of times, I just gave it a bit of a turn with the advance lever before attaching the baseplate. Worked just fine when I did that.

I've had similar experiences with most of the Flic Film cannisters, not just Aurora: the cannisters themselves seem slightly bulkier than others and it's a very snug fit in my Leica in particular. And there's quite a bit of resistance as you wind on the film so I've also had to load the film a couple of times to get the leader to stay in the tulip. They seem to try to be generous with quantity: I almost always get at least 40 shots per roll instead of 36, but I guess that means they wind it more tightly and it doesn't unroll as freely.

For those reasons I tend to use Flic Film films in my Canon P or my Minolta, rather than my Leica.

I have three rolls of Aurora 800 left and want to finish them before winter comes, as I don't shoot much colour film in winter.

It's a plastic reusable cassette with no DX code. The kind that use that forked tool to open them up. I had to make my own tin foil code for a roll. So those cassettes aren't a great fit for an M? I was thinking about bulk rolling with some but I havent placed an order yet.

Not the best example but the Flic cassette with a standard plastic reloadable one. Without actually measuring the two and just using an eyeball end to end comparison, the Flic cassette is definitely a bit thicker. The end caps on the Flic Film are different than the plastic screw on.

Ah, the screw top type are more true to size then. Good to know.

Film Flic sells their cassettes at Freestyle: https://www.freestylephoto.com/311105-FLIC-FILM-Reusable-35mm-Cartridges-5-Pack

And they sell the tool that pops them open: https://www.freestylephoto.com/301135-QUIC-PIC-Tool-for-Opening-Flic-Film-35mm-Cassettes

I don't have an M at the moment but I keep debating bulk loading Kodak Vision and Kentmere.

Thanks for the link. Taking a closer look at the Flic cassette, it doesn’t use a fiber light trap making it less likely to scratch the film.
I have a bulk loader but mostly for nostalgia.

I watched a video and Flic cassettes do use felt but they offer replacement strips.

It's a bit of a big honker to lug around but the images from the H1 have a clarity that only comes from using a bigger negative.
