They have asked that this ammo be sent to deflave for immediate disposal...

Half with double charges means half with no charges...
At least that's how I understand the powder hopper works.
If Winchester was not noticing something like a few hundred pounds of missing powder per lot... I'd worry.

I had a 1,000 round box I shipped in at the beginning of February. Anybody receive anything in regards to compensation yet?
