A shame ya threw the boxes out. Lot numbers are important. I always save a box with the lot number. I buy the shells in the 10 box "case" but hardly ever take more than 10-15 shells with me when hunting. Where I hunted in Md we had a plastic box of older steel shells that stayed in the blind. Used exclusively for cripples. Most of the guys I hunted with are using the high dollar shells.....so the box is there for cripples if we have any. Mostly used for invitees who still use steel. Let Federal know about the problem though. Were you shooting an auto? Steel really sucks for anything.
