After killing my gobbler this morning I was unloading my gun and one of the shells had came apart when I shot I'm guessing. It was fine when I loaded the gun. I noticed stuff falling out of my reciever and looked at the shell, the end/crimp was completely gone and you can see the resin and shot. I'm glad I didn't need a follow up shot. I know TN Lead had some that sounded loose when you shook the shell but has anyone ever seen this?

That's not cool and enough for me to not trust them. Hopefully this is a one time occurence and won't become the norm. I'd send Winchester an email with the photo attached so they have it documented, and maybe they'll send you a free box of shells.

The crimp isn't a crimp it's a separate piece of plastic. My double X shells will sometimes rattle a bit when I shake them but they don't fall apart and they shoot good.
