I'm trying some Rio hulls there a

12mm brass     2 -3/4 ,12 gage. I used 800X powder 29 grains, and a VP20 wad. I squish it down to 40 pounds then drop 1 3/8 ounce of # 7 1/2 lead shot.They should launch at around 1490 fps. I'll do some in #6 shot too . There no a target load and should be good for small upland birds and doves ( next year) I'm planning to use them on cottontail this winter.

NOPE!

Mid hight brass.

 They load OK not as good as the Fiocchi but there cheaper.

 The shoot great like all the rest I've been loading.
