i noticed yestrday a couple of my wlb shells have some shot loose in them that rattle around when u shake them. does this affect accuracy any?

I had to shoot my son in laws Winchester 1300 this year, My gun had scope problems and since he didn't hunt I carried his.  It was patterned in with 3" #5 Long beard.  I noticed that also, didn't make any difference to the turkey.

Not sure what they would do but I don't think they will shoot as well as a normal one would.  I picked up around 5 boxes and found one shell that did the same.  When I opened it there was no resin or buffer, just shot and wad.  It seems they missed pouring the resin in that shell.  Basically, you are shooting Super X high brass shot (with no buffer).  Still, it will probably kill out to 40.  Definitely use it as a backup shot or not at all unless hunting timber.
