Yes and No, at least not comparible to any Remington I ever shot. I'll take Rio's over most Remington dove loads any day.

I think Rio is the best made but my dog does not like them as much as I do because not as many cripples with Rio than with the others.

I've shot them for years. Their 3 dram 1 1/8 oz #9 load is hard to beat.

Do tell because I've probably gone through 10-12 cases of lead and steel without the first issue.

I shoot Rio when running lead. I've never had a problem with them. I use Remington Nitro Steel or Winchester Blind Side for ducks.
