This round came from a Walmart Federal 4 pack. I've had my share of FTFs with Federal shells that have had deeply seated primers, but this one really managed to get by quality control. This wasn't one of mine but the club member who was going to toss it was kind enough to let me keep it as a souvenir. It's defiantly going on the wall of shame. 😄

Wally’s way to keep everybody happy. Conservatives happy to get ammo and liberals happy the ammo doesn’t fire. Good Grief Federal.

This is thread drift but remember the thread in the Reloading section about removing live primers? This illustrates why that is not a problem. If the primer in this picture didn't go off when it was jammed in sideways, then applying slow and steady pressure during removal won't, either.

Picture of the shell and lot number from the box should get you a free box of shells?

What is that round circle on the primer? Is that from the firing pin?

Agreed, I have no problem recovering good primers from bad shells.

I don't think the shooter even tried to fire this one. It was readily apparent it was a dud LOL. I believe the circle came from whatever die was used to seat the primer during the manufacturing process.

That shell would probably go off just fine in a Bi-Star shotgun.....

 

[Tron]

Lawsuit?

 

[shotgunner50]

Those shells were specially loaded for Turkish shotguns with unregulated barrels.

 

[KS-5 Spec.]

It actually is better seated than the “good” 4 pack Federal shells.

LOL, That's the funniest thing I've read today. Thanks for the laugh.

 

[Dustydoo]

I think that is one HE77 of a firing pin spring
🤣🤣

 

[Popsracer]

I made one of those, once. But I didn’t box it. Does that mean my QC is better than Federals?

 

[PaulCISSA]

Doesn’t look seated too deep to me.

Transgender primers???

Collet probably snapping on the reloader. They need to read Curly's tips.

WAG, Looks like the hole in the bottom die at the Priming station

New shell from box. Not a reload.

You are exactly right. I worded it wrong. Should have said.

I am also assuming the humor did not go over your head.
It is an inside joke for Mec 9000 users and Curly's help.
