Has anyone been able to find these this year? Rio Texas Game Loads <--- Last year Academy had the 2 3/4...1 1/4oz...#6....and they were awesome dove loads. Just trying to get my hands on more and not having any luck!

Cabelas in Ft Worth had some Rio High brass a couple days ago. I'm not sure what size shot it was though.

Cabela's in Allen only had the 1 1/8th (non-Texas) loads. I like those better anyways ($30/case cheaper).

I bought a case of 20ga 7.5 at Cabelas's FW last weekend. They had a lot of 12's but I didn't pay attention to shot size because I was looking foe 20's. They ain't cheap $69 a cast.

I'd ask him if he's pregnant. He missed a s__tload of periods. I'll take "things that look like a uterus" for $200 Alex.

Why 6's guys, ya'll can't shoot? can you? Oh man just stirring the pot. You took the bait but yes I normally get my limit with 7.5 . 6 shot just seemed big to me for dove seeing that I knocked down teal, chukar and even a couple of pheasant last year with 6.

If you are shooting at high flying WW and or ECD, 6's are the way to go IMO
