Little known brand, but mighty fine shells at a great price.

I bought some #5's last year for teal and wood duck holes, did pretty good. I shoot their lead shot loads all the time, but the odor from the powder is rough.

Anyone else used these before? I can see about any load working in the timber when the birds are tight, but what about in the beans fields? That's my concern

I love Rio's, but champchick cursed me for telling him about them because his gun wouldn't shoot them.

I wish they made a 3.5" to see what they would do in fields, but my only experience with them is in timber or small holes.

If they are anything like their lead loads, they'll do well.

thats the only load my gun wouldnt shoot

Operator error!

i can't believe that ....don't you shoot an 870? they are indestructible

He is referring to when he had his stoeger. You get what you pay for in this case

in both cases if you asked me....

I used a case of Rio #2's last year primarily over open water and never had a problem in my pump or automatic. YMMV.

yea its when i shot a 2000.

i took my 870 and got them to work on that part in the chamber that was hangin up.

Lots of shooting clubs use Rio exclusively.
