Quote from: akp on April 29, 2015, 12:07:36 PMI started shooting Hevi 13 shells this season and noticed the seal on the crimp working loose on most of them. I looked on the internet for solutions and found several. I decided to get the official word from Environmetal and they told me to reseal them with Loctite Instant Adhesive (46040). I actually spoke by phone to an individual there and I'm pretty sure he told me that's what they're sealed with at the factory. Thought I would pass this along....

Thought I would pass this along....I hate to sound stupid but what exactly is the seal on the crimp? Are you talking the metal base part of the base or the top of the shell where the BBs come out? I am new to shotgun shell terms. I know what a crimp is in respect to pistol ammo, just never heard this issue with shotgun ammo and I use Hevi mag blend so need to know what to look for. Thanks!

Thanks!He's referring to the top of the shell where BB's exit. They seal the crimp with glue/adhesive to keep the buffer from leaking out.
