I love them. They are soft to the shoulder and hard on the target clay or feathered. I have shot everything from 10 gauge (I won the Southern 10 gauge Hammergun event with RST's) to 28 gauge RST's and they are a wonder. I reload for ecconomic reasons (I'm broke and the babies need new shoes) and I can reproduce the velocity, the pressure, the killing effect, but not the soft recoil. When the "big horse comes in" I'll shoot nothing but RST's. I have a Doctor friend I hunt with and he has fluid steel barrelled side by sides and RST's are the only shell he shoots.
You will not be disappointed, Harry |

Harry has it right, there just isn't a better company or better people to deal with out there.

Destry is correct ! Great people, great product...
Unless I'm shooting black powder, my damascus and twist-barreled Parkers digest nothing but RST shells ! |

You'll like those NiceShot shells Russ, they're killers for sure. I've got some of the 1 3/8 ounce loads to test on opening day for geese in Ontario next week.

Destry; I think I will like them also,I have used their other shells, I just recently purchased a 10 Ga. Hammer Gun, and I am going to try my hand at some goose hunting ! I wished we lived closer, I would ask you for some instruction ! Speaking of instruction, does any one know how to unblock pics. on our web site, I accidently closed mine and now I can't even get our home page up !

RST shells are what to shoot in Damascus or other composite barrel guns because RST will tell you the tested pressure of any load with a phone call or email. Every time a load is tested for pressure and velocity, (yes, at the plant) the computer printout of the test result is filed with the load information. I have been there, seen the procedure, rooted through the file cabinet for information on loads I was interested in. My account of this visit is in an earlier thread. I don't believe any other company is as interested in our loads as RST is. I just love those shells and the company that loads them.

My 1894 DH 16 loves the RST's, especially the ones dressed in paper hulls.
