What y'all think of them?

I've been shooting em for years, I like em, they kick a tad more but they knock down birds,
Normally you can find them cheap online, this year im going to try out kent teal steel , I haven't heard of them before

I can get 3" for $10 a box. That's pretty cheap in my book.

The teal steel is sort of a gimmick, you can get their regular steel loads with the same shot charge and higher velocity for less money.
I've used the rios but not used enough of them to tell you they're great, I've only used them on teal.

I used the hell out of rios last year...kinda remind me of kent fast steel the way they shoot...I like em but I think I'm gonna use just kent this year

Shot a case of em in college and liked them. May pickup a case myself here pretty soon. I need to consistency in my life!

Well I'm going to get a case of them Saturday. 3" #4s

^^Thats what i shoot 1 1/4ounce shot, Helps when you friends with the store owner and he keeps piles of these shells on hand!

I'm probably going to go back to Kent Faststeel though, i really like the way they pattern

I shot them all last year with no problems, the price is right.

Fucking badass. All I shoot now for dove and duck season! Found a place where I get dove loads for 80/case and duck 3" #3s for 110/case! Worth. Every. Penny.

I shoot skeet every wednesday and all I shoot is rio for skeet and dove season now for duck season I still shoot my 31/2

I shoot 3 1/2 during duck season but 3" for teal.

Ive shot rio a long time ago can't say if they were good cos my shooting wasn't.

Side note....
I'm sold on those Game bore/ Kents now,nothing wrong with them at all, not sure they'll be my main ammo but see what the price is next year

I've never used a RIO shell for waterfowl, but I'd like to. However, I use RIO 1oz of 7.5's @ 1210fps for sporting clays... I buy several flats at a time. When I first started using RIO I cut one open, the shot was nice and round, uniform hard lead. Stuff like you find in Win AA. It's not the top of the line, but it's definitely good quality for the money. What makes it a lower quality than others is the hulls, they aren't ones you'd want to reload compared to say a Rem hull. But if you don't reload, it won't matter to ya.

Me and my brother each shot a case of rios 31/2 #2 loved them. They shot cleaner then the case of Kent's that we also shot will be ordering more rios for up coming season.

Anyone know where I can find a few cases of Rio 3'' 2,3,or 4 online? I've searched all of my usual sights for them but can't find what I want. Like'd to try'm.

Try cheaper than dirt

Y'all mite be missin da boat! Y'all better get you some of D'S . Only thing wrong wit D'S is I like to put a little salt in my shells. Dat way da meat won't spoil time I get to da bird ImageUploadedByTapatalk1374100235.029378.jpg

We will see how they shoot

This will be my 4th year shooting rio. Been shooting between 2-4 cases a year both #8 high brass dove loads and steel shot outa the same gun, xtrema 2, and have never had a problem out it. In the steel shot I usually shoot 3" #3's & 4's, they pattern well and and are priced right but have been going up steady. I used to pay like $70 for a case of high brass dove and $85 a case of steel. Last year I paid $85 for the dove and $120 for the steel.
