Last week I bought 2 boxes of last yrs Hevi Shot at Sportsman Wharehouse. I just went to take them out of my blind bag and I noticed some white grain. The buffer is coming out of the shells. The crimp didn't go all together. Should I throw them out or could I shoot them 1st b/f more falls out? Of course I don't have my recipts any more.
At $18 a box, I hate to throw them out.

What do you guys think?
Thanks in advance
Chad

That's normal. Don't worry about it. Did they have any Hevi left at $18.00. That's good price.

I shoot alot of skeet....alot! sometimes the reloads I use are short of shot or the crimp aint right and some spill out, etc. It doesnt hurt at all to shot them

I had the same thing happen. Drop a little candle wax on the bottom and it will seal it up fine. I couldn't tell a diffence in the performance of the shells.
