Time was I swore I'd never buy another Remington shell.
Now they are the best in the business.
This is the first bad Remington shell I've had in 20 years, that's a pretty good run ignoring the early Gun Club shells that had that extra hard primer cup.  There are guns that simply would not fire those reliably.  Again, that's been fixed.
The 28 gauge shooters in my neighborhood are bitching up a storm about the current AA shell splitting the heads, and sometimes being split in the new box.  They gotta fix that, and I'm certain they will.  Some accountant got his hands too far into the production department and likely got an award for it too!
My hat's off to all the ammo and component makers, they all do an outstanding job....  but.... factory shells better than my reloads?  Simply not so.
