They come out of my sbe2 looking like that. Has anyone left them loaded or forgot to unload them from a sbe2 and have the end where the crimp is flare out???

That's comforting.

I leave my gun loaded in my truck when I'm hunting on my lease. If I leave it loaded all week. The two shells in the tube will be mashed and flared out where the crimp is. I think the 3.5's compress the spring so much that it causes the deformation.

We posted about this last year or so but also the overshot card coming apart and making a benelli jam up.
