Hevi Shot Mag Blend problem or is it?

[HuntinFreak22]

I have been shooting the Hevi Shot 5x6x7 mag blend out of my sbe2 and it patterns great and I have killed multiple turkeys with this setup. However I have noticed that the clinched ends have a resin type substance that seals the ends but on some of the shells the resin has fallen out. Is this a problem and would it affect the performance of the shell?

Nah its fine. Just don't get it to wet. Happens to our duck loads all the time.

I have had the same thing happen to other hevishot shells. It should not be a problem as long as you don't lose too many pellets. The problem seems worse if you use shells from 1 to 2 years old, particularly those that you may carry around with you in your turkey vest.

Fingernail polish will seal it right up. Happens to mine

Fingernail polish will seal it right up.

That's all you need. I paint all my hand loads.

Heavy Shot gets lighter by the season... HAHA! I switched to Remington Nitro Turkey because of this. It was getting all over my calls.

Thanks for the responses guys!! I figured it was ok, but in Turkey hunting every pellet counts. I will "borrow" some of my wife's fingernail polish when she is not looking.

I use wood glue on mine. It seems to work good. I had this problem two years ago. The buffer was leaking from the shells and it caused my gun to not cycle properly. Since I started sealing the ends I have had no further problems.

If they start selling fingernail polish at BPS right next to Hevi shot, I'm switching brands.
