Shotgun shells. FYI

Those are Rios with the blue shells....I liked them and shot a couple boxes but had 2 of them hang up in my gun back to back so I switched back to Remingtons...I did like them though, could have just been an issue with that batch, I shot a lot of them for dove season before that with no issues.

A couple of years ago I had a bad batch. Some of the shells when shot big chunks of plastic were coming off and getting in the chamber. Also shot wasn't spreading sometimes almost shooting like a bullet. I wrote an email to rio telling them the problem I was having, not expecting to hear back. The next day I got, no an email, but a phone call from rio. They wanted me to send back what I had left and said they already had a new case in transit. I thought that was great customer service so I have given them my business ever since. I haven't had any other problems with the shells.

My buddy was shooting Rios last Saturday, he shot a gray duck and the plastic wad collar stuck in the ducks breast. That must have been one of those non-spreading "bullet" loads. Everyone has their favorite brand, I have had problems with Remingtons, had one misfire, had one shell fresh out of the box with a hole in the brass. Glad that I didn't try to shoot that one early one morning. I like Winchester shells.
