Any info on how old the post or the load was?  If I recall correctly, they had some issues with certain lots a year or two ago.  Remember seeing posts about it.

That's not something I would want to see or risk being around when it went off. Quality control issues it looks like.

This is my first dive into Federal heavyweight tss shells,42.99 per 5 up here and this is what the 2nd shell in the box i opened today looked like,half full and obviously missed by quality control.I thought 42.99 was pricey for 5,then they send you 4.5 and it is even pricier.

Maybe I'm missing something but all those shells look identical to me?

That's exactly right! If there is a quality control problem on my shells all I have to do is look in the mirror.
