Be Advised Recall On Shotgun Shells

I learned in the "duck hole" this am that Winchester 3" Magnums 12 Gauge #2, 13/8 OZ. Drylocks with serial numbers starting 49X have been recalled. Shotguns are blowing up.

This is not a hoax or joke. Hunters check your ammo.

I have been hearing some other bad things about winchesters target shells this past summer. Right out of the box a guy I shot with at the range had some cases that were split. We are only buying Remingtons now when not loading our own.

Goodlookinout,Will. Thanks...

FWIW, some AA silvers I was given as once fired split after the first loading with my rather mild trap loads. Maybe the QC probs at Remington are contagious....
