Rio

I've gone through a few boxes of them in different gauges and liked them fine.
 
I am going to try them. I saw a duck hunting with a guy shooting an autoloader with bright shiney blue cartridges all over the water and ground. I wondered how that worked? If I did that the ducks would be gone! But the shells did the job.
 
i bought 4 boxes of 00 buck. maybe ill blow a box off tomorrow to see how they are. i like how the shells aren't opaque, but more see-through.
 
What I'm finding with Rio, Gamebore and few other cheaper foreign made shells is, they seem to work fine but you best clean your gun daily. I didn't swab the barrel's on one of my prized O/U's for 10 days to 2 weeks, as I was making a short walk each day and the gun was only fired a few times. The weather was warm and dry. When I went to swabbing the barrels. The patches came out orange. That only tells me one thing. The barrel's looked clean and shinny when I was done but that was rust IMO. That tells me these shells are more corrosive then better quality American made ammo.

They shoot fine but clean the gun after every session. I do that anyways but some don't.

I blame myself. I usually clean my gun everyday I use it, including wiping it down even when I never shot the gun. Even in the safe. I clean the guns once a month in the off season at least. My bad, seems tough to get'er done anymore since I have gotten ill. Weak and fatigued most days. Still no excuse.
 
Those are some of the reasons that I only enjoy the HeviShot family
of ammo. They are not a "Dirty" shell and they even offer a CLASSIC
DOUBLE shell that is easy on vintage firearms.
