FYI: Rogers has Rio steel on sale.
I use the 3", 1 1/4 oz #3s and love them.
They also have 2 3/4" steel "game loads" and 3" 1 1/8 oz on sale.
 
That looked good to me, also, Carl. I would go with a case of 3 shot and then a case of 5 shot. Have to wait until next year, however, since I still have 3 and 6 shot handy..

I shoot rio,s 3" x 1oz x #3,s in my 20,s for ducks. Absolutely love them. 3 woodies and a Bluewing yesterday fell to that load with great results. Advertised at 1400 fps which id about as fast as you get in 20 gauge 1oz. loads. Throw good patterns out to 40 yds. w/Briley L Mod & Mod thru my Browning & Winchester Invector Plus guns.

Shot them for a few years and I understand they are tough to pass at the price but please be careful. I had issues with the shells not uncrimping instead they would blow the end of the shell off. I stopped shooting them due to safety concerns
 
Interesting, I've shot at least 3 cases of them and never had a single issue.

Maybe I just got a bad batch? Regardless it concerned me a little and just wanted to throw the heads up out there for everyone. Good luck and be safe this season
