First, just so there is no confusion: I LIKE Remington. They have a fine history, nice products, etc. However, if anyone reading this has any Remington buckshot, especially anyone that might be using it for a serious purpose, you should check it for manufacturing problems immediately. I had a box of 00 buck that apparently was misassembled and has pellets sitting side-by-side=they'll feed through a magazine tube, but will NOT chamber. Only one cartidge out of 5 actually would not chamber at all, but the other's were very tight. So, I've called and emailed Remington, and they're looking into the problem. They were very interested and motivated over the phone, so I suspect they'll be recalling the entire lot if they don't find a reason limiting the problem to my box.
