Don't know, but I just bought a case of heavy field rios in 16 ga to use in a SxS, so I guess I will find out. Ask me again after the 1st.

Praticially no difference between high/low brass, both are above average...

Can't beat Rio's for value and quality. The brass height on a shell makes no difference but you generally see bigger faster loads in high brass. They could put those same loads in low brass and they would preform the exact same.
Dear Lord please bullwhip me for saying this but I agree, Marcstar is in the lead. Please nobody use this as a quote!!!

I shot them all last season, and I really liked them. The only reason I will not be shooting them this year is because they are not very reload friendly.

Fioochi is another quality brand...mostly Rio components...about the same price...while the Fioochi and Rio's cost more, all else equal, you will drop more birds per box...

we used them all the time for skeet shooting and they are so much better than the domestic shells its not funny. We were buying them for $75 a case last year for the highbrass loads for hunting and $65 for the low brass I believe

Nothing wrong with Rio's or Cleaver (Mirage) shells and you can sometimes find them much cheaper.
Don't let your ears hear what your eyes didn't see, and don't let your mouth say what your heart doesn't feel As much as I hate to admit it, I do like my truck

Wolf Shotshells are made in the same factory in Spain as RIO's.... Smell that powder burning, different from USA made shotshells. Both worked in my Beretta autos, 390/391, 12 or 20ga
