Default RE: Dove Guns/Shells

I'll be using my Rizinni Aurum Classic 20 ga and Fiocchi VIP loads, this year. I never shoot that Wal-mart cheap loads.
A rizinni is fine gun almost to fine to have in the hunting field If I had a rizzini Id use it for trap only. But do whatever pleases you. Just I am having a hard time trying to figure out what makes you think Fiocchi VIP loads are so much better then the bulk federal shells at walmart you came off making it sound like you and your gun are to good to use a cheaper priced load, If the VIP load works the best in your gun then I can't argue with that. But if you say that based on the thought that because a shell is higher priced its higher quality then the cheaper priced stuff you are very very wrong. If you think Fiocchi uses a cleaner burning powder then the bulk federal shells at walmart you are wrong once again, Fiocchi and federal both buy their powders from the same companies. ammunition companies pretty much buy their powder from who ever has the lowest price at the time. I know Federal and fiocchi have used powder from Alliant, hodgdon and IMR but have also used imported powders too and in some cases they have even used powders manufactured in russia most likely the same stuff used in Wolf shotgun shells and its some dirty stuff. The point I am making is that just because you think something is better it is not always better. If you call up a ammunition company an ask what powder they use they can never give you a straight answer other then for example "we use special blended propellants" what that means in english is we dont always use the same kind or type of powder. The only way to always know what grade of powder is being burned in your gun is to reload. Something else you probably didnt know is PMC and Fiocchi use the same hulls. Would you use PMC loads or are they too low of quality for you? Well maybe you just have an image to uphold and think your yuppy friends at the counrty club will laugh at you if you use a cheaper shell in your 20,000 dollar shotgun. I just wanted to point out that comment you made about "That wal mar cheap loads" makes you sound Stupid. Don't come off making dumb comments untill you know all the facts first.
