Hello, Steven once again I ordered some 12ga 2 1/2 lites in #6 and #7 1/2 has anyone every had a problem with rst shells about 5 out of 100 shells being delivered with bulging crimp 4 of the 5 aren't bad but 1 is horrible. The 6 boxes of #7 1/2 seem okay.


Thanks, Steven.

I have had opening crimps with RST reloads. I assume I am not crimping them deep enough or overfilling them with components. I guess the same thing can happen at the factory.

If you're talking from the factory, no I've never had a problem.

I would call RST. They would likely appreciate the feedback. And I've never had an issue although I'm only using 16 and 20.

Yes sir I sent a email and included a picture of the shells that were badly bulged but they want be back in the shop until the 21st I was sent an auto generated email stating such.

Thanks, Steven

I had one bad shell from RST; don't remember exactly what was wrong with it. I contacted them and they wanted it back to figure out what happened; they paid the shipping and sent me a couple of pin badges and some logo ball points for my trouble.

What, no hat?

They already sent me a hat once with an order, and I later bought a blaze one. They asked me what I wanted; I said a pin or decal. They sent two pins, a handful of decals and a few pens.

Sounds like they care about keeping their customers happy

They gave me a Orange Hat last year at the NE SXS. I wear my orange RST hat all the time when hunting and it was faded and really beat up. I had just bought a flat and Chris asked me if I wanted a replacement hat. Course I said yes. That's my City Dinner hat. I still wear the old one in Woodcock cover. :)
