Rio Shotgun Shells

Postby SWAG » Thu Jun 05, 2014 9:22 am

Have shot these shells the last 3 seasons and have been pleased. Went to a couple of websites today thinking I may go ahead an order but have yet to see them for sale. Went to the company website and seems they had a tragic accident there back in April and an employee died in that event as well as some others who got hurt. Anyone else heard this news? Anyone know if they are going to continue to stay in business?

I usually buy from Lakeway in Grenada and the price is always good, just thought I would shop around the net and see if there was a summer deal. Hate to hear of the fire. Like their product. Hope they get it going again.

That is the worst thing I've heard in weeks. Fiocchi lead is pretty good stuff as well
