The Claim: The Avery Floating Blind Bag will float up to 12 boxes of 3" magnum 12-gauge shotgun shells.

The Test: I placed two dozen dead ducks in my wife’s Corvette and I ... just kidding. I placed 10 boxes of Hevi Shotshells and 2 boxes of Winchester Drylok 3-inch shellsin the blind bag and I tossed in fresh water.

The Conclusion: See it for yourself...
