One poster mentioned the "chicken-egg" situation which is the most likely. Further, every time I blow up a shotgun, I take every remaining shell in my bag, cut them open one by one, and examine and weigh the contents, actually examine everything and weigh the powder. How did your remaining ammo come out on the scale?? Second question, how much of a coincidence is it that the receiver was just run through an oven? Who is your case harderning guru? Not that he is at fault, but that is one factor that should be thrown into the mix.
