Shotgun shells. FYI

The next day I got, no an email, but a phone call from rio. They wanted me to send back what I had left and said they already had a new case in transit. I thought that was great customer service so I have given them my business ever since. I haven't had any other problems with the shells.

My buddy was shooting Rios last Saturday, he shot a gray duck and the plastic wad collar stuck in the ducks breast. That must have been one of those non-spreading "bullet" loads. Everyone has their favorite brand, I have had problems with Remingtons, had one misfire, had one shell fresh out of the box with a hole in the brass. Glad that I didn't try to shoot that one early one morning. I like Winchester shells.
