Sealed or unsealed

I’ve gotten a couple of tins like that. I didn’t have an issue with the pellets. I did find it odd at first. I asked one company about it via email and received no response. I thought maybe they were down to their last tins and took some tins they used to test rifles before shipping and filled a tin to fulfill my order. This was during one of the scarce periods in the pandemic. 


The second company that shipped me a tin without tape around it, I emailed them photos and brought it to their attention because a tin opened in transit and pellets spilled out. The pellets ended up shooting fine and the company was apologetic and receptive to the criticism. Perhaps you can reach out to the vendor and let them know what’s going with your pellets. Have your tried cleaning your barrel and shooting more of the same pellets? If you shot other pellets you have do they shoot ok while the MRDs shoot crappy? Or are you saying that the MRDs shoot crappy in general? Have you ever shot any before? If so, is your gun tuned to shoot them?
 
None of mine have any tape on them either.
