I got a response from John. He was a bit indignant at the suggestion he might be mistaken about what he clams to have collected. He also strangely "disposed of them some time ago" and admits to using the shells regularly now, for reloading, although he carefully inspects them. I quit using them myself, a few years ago. If I had "picked up a Mason Jar full of these runaway base wads I surely would have kept them. If nothing else, send them to Winchester. They surely would have been interested. I would not use them again, ever. Winchester surely shot themselves in both feet, by switching from the gold standard of reloadable shells to scary crap that most shooters now throw away.
