I don't know about the fps on the Rio ammo, but I can buy the Remington black "game load" 16's in one ounce #8, at 1,200 fps, for $37.90 for 10 boxes, and that black hull reloads well for me....we just don't see Rio for sale around here.

I recently bought about 10 boxes of Rio's with 2.5 dr equiv, 1oz, 7.5. The shoot and perform well but I paid $6.00/box. Mainly just bought them to try them out and they perform well on the range. Haven't hunted with them yet. hulls look sound and may be Cheddite's.

I looked at the site. the price was more at 42.90 per case I think. Then there is the shipping. Better figure on $5+ per box delivered.

Not to take this thread off track, but does anyone know where to buy inexpensive 28 ga ammo at $45 per case or under or cheap reloadable cases?

Hey 16GG-when you find those 28g. shells, see if they have a 16g. DHE Parker, straight grip, 28" brls, IC/F, 90% case colors with 14&3/4 LOP for $2000 for me. Suspect we're BOTH dreaming! Laughing

revdocdrew,
That 16 gauge DHE, is on a #0 frame isn't it? Very Happy
Pick one up for me while you're at it. Exact same thing as yours, only make mine with Damascus Barrels and skeet choked.

Parker? Ugliest American double ever made. Now a high grade LC Smith or AH Fox, those are shotguns!

16gaugeguy,
I just figured I wouldn't respond to that remark. And we'd let it die.
It's kinda like arguing politics or religion. You can't win. Laughing

Dave, that probably won't matter. I'll save you a spot under the table. I'll spend the time dreaming about cheap 28 gauge ammo until the hubbub subsides. Laughing

I finally fired off the two boxes of 16 gauge Rio that I had at 5-stand yesterday. Recoil was nice and it seemed like good stuff to me. Now to see how well they hold up to reloading.
