Are they sub sonic being such a lite load ? I think the RSTs are around 1150 fps ? Ive always wondered how or if transonic flight affects bb's and round balls like it does conical projectiles .

I never put any of the RSTs up against a patterning board to see how they actually perform . I know they worked very well on squirrels though .

I dunno if they're subsonic or not . I do however know they eat up clay targets on a skeet field , trap field and the limited sporting clays / five stand birds I've fired them at . They also do very nicely on dove and I would assume quail as well .

Morris the guy at RST makes some pretty decent shells as I've bought a few boxes mostly 2 1/2" for my W&C Scott 12 and 20 hammerless guns . I however do not wish to pay his price , not saying they're over priced or anything like that I'm just cheap when it comes to ammunition .

Yeah they went up 3$ a box compared to last time I ordered any but a case usually lasts me a long time .
Im curious to see what they price their 8 gauge ammo at . Im guessing 30$ per 10 rounds .
