Rio shotshells

[DEADAPAIR]

Is there a distributor in Canada for these shells or does anyone know where they are available.

 

[NZClaybuster]

Not in the Calgary area....

A site sponser: The Ammo Source carries RIO shells. Not cheap, but available

Brushey's in Powassan Ont. carries them and I am sure I have seen them at Epps In Orillia.

Don't know of any.

Here is a link to the web site ... http://www.rioammo.com/

They are sold everywhere here in Newfoundland.

there's a small outdoors shop in Oakville, ON that sells them ... BUT .... They are overpriced to all hell and in short supply... Good luck in the search...

I bought some of these in London ON, at CK GUNroom.

THEY ARE CRAP. CRAP. CRAP.

Half of the shells have little burrs on the brass at the bottom of the shell. The burrs rub against the inside of the chamber and SCRATCH THE CHAMBER. You get little bits of brass in your trigger mechanism. Little brass shavings everywhere.

DO NOT BUY THEM.

The brass is scratching the steel?

Ive seen them at a few mom and pop shops.

I always bought a box once cause I thought it was steel (it had a mallard on the box...)

The importer was or still is BELL Distributing in Mississauga.

I bought 50 flats about 5 years ago... nice load, cheap at the time for $50 or so per flat.

I guess those days are gone.

The last flat that I bought revealed about 20 shells with such brass deformation......I discovered one and checked/separated the remainder out of the 10 boxes.

QC issue, yes. However, I wouldn't call the brand itself crap. Performance wise RIO shells work fine so to speak.

They work mighty fine in my 16 gauge wingmaster. It sucks that some of you guys got sh*tty ones though. I've put at least 250 #4's or so through the ol' 16 and never once had a problem. I'd buy them again.
