We order them for a couple of trap teams I coach and have for years, no problems. I also notice quite a few of the sporting clays competitors here shoot that brand as well. I would think their heavier rounds would be fine tho I haven’t used them.

I sold them for lots of years while guiding. Never had any issues.

I have shot cases of them. Lead and steel and never had a problem of any sort. I always liked them.

3 or 4 years ago when my son qualified for the high school national finals 3/4 of the shooters at the trap shoot were using Rio shells including the entire Texas Team (who incidentally won the national title that year- and most years)

I've shot thousands of Rio trap shells, never had a problem, never tried the pheasant loads. If you reload you will need to use a Rio primer as they oversized.

Yes , they are good shells ,a duck hunting friend brings me bags of them to reload , i use the fed gold metal recipe after i trim them back for 2 3/4 , i use the rio high brass hull ,32 gr longshot, fed 12s3 wad 11/8 #4 shot, and fed 209a primers , they are not as snug but work ,seems i see variations in primer pockets , if i see one to loose a dab of super glue dos the trick.

Thanks Osky- I ordered (2) cases from Cheaper-Than-Dirt. How much did they cost ya? CTD is known for price gouging pretty hard on ammo.
