Never shot any of the sub gauge stuff, but have shot the 12 & 20 loads and didn’t have any major issues. Anyone with experience shooting Rio sub gauge ammo?
That’s what I was wanting know.No issues with 28’s.
I personally like Rio ammo. Its for damn sure better and cleaner than anything federal makes imo………
1) if the ammo is dirty enough the frequency of cleaning goes up. I do not clean a shotgun just because I've pulled the trigger.For the life of me I have never understood why people get hung up over "it's cleaner than XXX". Do ya'll not ever clean your guns between hunts?? If your going to clean it when you get home what difference does a dirty barrel make during transport??
All of these except number 2 are the reasons why I was asking. Not to mention gunpowder is corrosive and on a high dollar over under, that’s not something you want even a little sitting around in a nook or craney. Performance wise, un burned powder/ dirty = loss of shell performance.1) if the ammo is dirty enough the frequency of cleaning goes up. I do not clean a shotgun just because I've pulled the trigger.
2) depending what you're shooting dirty ammo might be enough to stop a finicky gun (think gas autoloader.)
3) Excessively cruddy shells mean I have to spend more time cleaning parts of the gun that I might not otherwise have to spend more than a second on.
4) If hunting with an over-under then breaking the thing apart (removing the stock) to clean the internals is enough of a hassle that I don't personally do it more than once or twice a year.
