Any Rio reviews ? My 1 1/14 oz Rios worked awesome no problems at all and got my very first opening day limit by 7:30 AM I like them. first year to shoot them exclusively and i'm impressed. I'm shooting the lighter game loads, the 28's, and a few 32's here and there which are comparable to a heavy dove load from remmy. they gained a customer for life, I feel they are much better quality shells that either the Winchester game loads or the remmy game loads/heavy dove loads. one common thing I have been seeing on forums are people are going way overboard on shells. I shot a 20 gauge for a few years and never failed to limit out with 7/8ths oz. loads. guys are buying high brass 1 1/4 oz. shells to kill a 8 oz. mourning dove. a good, quality 1 oz. load that patterns good is all you need in a 12 gauge for dove and quail
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

Yea I used the 32's last year for the first time and was impressed ( still have about 5 boxes) and switched to the High Brass and was equally impressed . I too am a new customer for life . My Browning Golden Clays Sporting Clays wont cycle less than 1 1/8 oz loads

I used them for one evening hunt and some pasture Skeet last weekend. It was the 12ga 1oz load. Performance was great, just wish I'd had more dove to shoot at.

Gonna give em a shot no pun intended. The Remington heavy dove keep jamming. Seems the metal is expanding after being shot.

This was my first time dove hunting and I picked up a box of 12 gauge 7.5 shot 2 3/4 size 1 oz shells and was using a Winchester 1300 shotgun with an improved choke and I would say they are pretty good. According to others I pulled off some shots at good distances with them. Shells never got stuck or jammed. I paid $54.99 at academy the day before they went on sale. I would say they are great. Plan on using them next year.
Iv got hogs an can show you a good time.

It has been 2 years that I have shot them, never had a problem with them.
