i would call winchester, they will want that back to look at. also check the lot # on the other 3 remaining boxes, if they're the same they'llwant those too. you will end up with some replacements, probably an extra box or two too.

Try a different brand of ammo before sending the Winchester ammo back.Could be the Contender has an issue.

I've had problems in the past with their components, cases especially. I won't use them except as a last resort.
