 Federal 12Ga. ammo issue My son bought some Federal Shotgun ammo at the BX today. One of the shells is pretty much totally unusable. The end crimp is so bad I don't think it will even chamber. Shot was spilling out of the end of the shell These are 12Ga. 2 3/4 inch 1 oz. #8 shot Federal Game-Shock Lead Here is the info from the box flap 194873 H121 8 91SP169F I will be contacting Federal about this as I feel this serious safety and quality issue.

 Huh. I buy that exact same ammo quite a bit for trap shooting. I've went through dozens of cases, and have never encountered any problems with any federal.

| Sounds like a bad crimp that quality control missed. I've had a few like that on some of my reloads but never found a factory mistake. Federal Cartridge Company 900 Ehlen Drive Anoka, MN 55303-7503 1-800-322-2342 Fax: (763) 323-2506

| I quit using Federal 12Ga ammo years ago.......... I was using it deer hunting, and shot one at less than 20yd using 12Ga Federal 00buck ammo, in a power line right of way. Knocked the deer down 4 times. there was no blood, just hair, and shot with hair in it........... I switched ammo, to Winchester, I had no problems downing a deer agian with only one shot, no matter what the yrdage was ( withen reason of course)................
