Good morning. I tried the search function and Google to look for previous threads. Please don't shoot me if I missed this discussion already...
Go duck hunting with buddies one or two times per year. Good folks and good time generally had by all. This year, one of the guys in the blind had picked up several boxes of Rio Blue Steel 12ga with 1-3/8oz of #4's. Solely because of price. I understand that Rio is supposed to be one of the lower cost brands. However, he was knocking down ducks pretty regularly. I tried one shell and promptly knocked a duck down as well.
Currently shooting Federal blue box 12ga with 1-1/8oz of #3's. Picked up a box Fed 1-3/8oz #4's as well as a box each Rio #4's in both 1-3/8oz and 1-9/16oz to pattern in my LH SBE. Any first hand experience good or bad with Rio steel shot cartridges for duck hunting ?
