Any word on whats wrong with it?

 

[Chipperxd]

the link says that it's the incorrect charge in the rounds. probably an over charge from the factory?

That is certainly not a good thing at all.

so what are we supposed to do if we didn't buy from that site? Will Walmart take the ammo back? Or do I have to contact Federal myself? this just sucks!

You contact Federal if you have any of that ammo.

Don't think it's Federal, but what manufacturer marks their cases R*P?
