Yep, the crimp sealant they use sucks.

Yes it does, they should use Alex Plus!! 

I just went through all my boxes of hevi-13, and found only one box outta five had decent seals. Per slickys advice, I used Alex Plus, and I'm very pleased!

Just got 4 boxes, 2 out of 20 shells have crimp problems and are losing a little buffer...

Shouldn't matter how old they are - I've got lead that I've been dragging around for 5 years - ina and out of vests, in and out of luggage and no problems...

I had the same problem.  I notified them, and they sent me a hat.   

How well did the hat shoot ??

I know they have pretty good customer service.  A friend of mine called and they took care of him right away.  I have called both Kent and Remington in the past and could not even speak to a live person, only a phone tree.  What a pain.

Just put some candle wax or Elmers Glue on the end, it will fix them right up.  I had to do that to some Nitros I bought a few years ago.

This will fix it right up.

I can keep it in 10" circle at 40 yards.  Heck, I can keep it in a 10" circle at 40 MILES!

I dont think that I should have to fix there mistake though, especially considering were paying 20 dollars a box.

That's a bit disconcerting.....my Winchesters have very nice crimps and seals.

Winchester Xtended Range loads used to leak buffer worse than any load I have seen. Don't know if they still do b/c I don't use them anymore.
