Why spend the extra money for RST shells? That gun will shoot anything off the shelf if it's in sound condition. Try 7/8 or 1 ounce loads, easy on the shoulder and kills well.

Exactly. Fiocchi makes a 1oz 1170' load that I have been shooting a lot. Currently they run about $58 a flat. RIO had a 7/8 load that I think was 1100', not 100% sure on the FPS but it was super soft. There are numerous paper options on the market as well. Not to take anything away from RST but you have a lot of less expensive options.

Thanks Randy and Chuck. I feel better now about shooting some volume.
