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

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.
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)................
