I have used Remington Game Loads for years mostly in 16 gauge (I probably have 5 or 6 flats downstairs), I have had issues in the past with them as well but not with bad crimps and the shot falling out of brand new shells.
My issues in the past were with hard primers and pierced primers, but they work in some of my guns if not others, and they were 16 gauge so harder to get.
Before this experience I was going to be buying 2 flats of the new Peters steel shells, those will be Federals now.
I am pissed at the lack of communication but honestly I have never bought new shells with loose shot rolling around in the boxes.
For premium target shells I load my own or shoot Federal papers as I don't like the new AA hull and at this point I wouldn't trust STS or Nitro 27's from Remington.
