Was shooting my late model 20 gauge Fox (2 3/4" chambers) today with some off the shelf Rio 7/8 ounce loads. Had several mis-fires in the right barrel (none in the left). Looking at the shells they seems to be hit pretty good with the firing pin, but apparently not good enough. Was wondering whether Rio's have harder primers then others. FWIW, I've never had this problem with Federals or Remington's and of course RST's (which are my favorites).
Wondering thoughts and if folks have had problems with either Rio's or other ammo brands when it comes to having apparently hard primers.
One man I know who shoots sporting clays 4 days a week has given up on RIOs due to misfiring. Eventually they'll get their act together.
The brand with hard primers is Canucks.
