Best shell for the price

Date:December 31, 2012
I heard about these shells from a friend who I hunt with often. He had bought a case and liked them very well so I bought a case also. I shoot a benelli super black eagle 2 and my friend does to our group shoots 750 to 1000 ducks a year and now most of us are shooting these shells they are undoubtedly the best shell for the money that i have ever shot we all shoot automatic shotguns and get along great some benellis some berretas I would highly recommend these for anyone wanting a good shell at a good value.

Stacks them

Date:November 20, 2012
Bought 4 boxes at the end of last year and was very satisfied. When I first bought them I patterned the shell to see what would happen. At 30 steps it was knocking plastic barrels lover! The pattern was very consistent which gave me quicker limits and more dead ducks(not cripples). Just wished I would have bought them a lot sooner.

Great Shells

Date:November 13, 2012
Just as good as higher priced shells, when I pull the trigger they go boom, I shot a ton of teal with the 3 inch #3s. They work great on widgeons and mallards.

Royal BlueSteel

Date:November 5, 2012
I have used these shells for the past two seasons, and by far, they are excellent. They compare with all top quality brands, I have shot them all, and you will be pleased with the price. I use a SBE and a M2 for all my waterfowl shooting, and have yet to have a failure. I have cases of other shells, but I always grab box of these.

Great value & performance

Date:October 31, 2012
Shot five boxes of 3.5 inch #2s recently in Saskatchewan at ducks and geese. Everyone cycled perfectly in my Stoeger M3500 and knocked down birds as well or better than anything I have used.

Good Value

Date:December 11, 2012
Was hesitant to purchase this shell because I had never heard of Royal or Blue Steel. Salesman told me it was a good product no complaints. Works seamlessly in the 11-87 on a two day goose hunt. Next hunt, a one day goose hunt gave my 11-87 to my 13 year old boy, he had no issues. I used it a model 12 12 gauge had difficultly ejecting. Could be a problem with ejectors on the gun, most likely. I would say a good value for the price.

Only buy one box

Date:December 1, 2012
I just got home from patterning my Benelli Nova with Carlson's Full and Mod chokes. I patterned Rio Blue Steel, Federal Speedshok, Kent Fasteel, and Fed Black Cloud. All shells were 3 1/2 inch BB loads. There are good reviews for the Rio Blue Steel, but in my gun they were absolutely terrible. I was patterning at 40 yards. Blue Steel delivered very thin patterns with both Full and Mod chokes. With the Mod choke however, there was a nickel sized hole in my target where the wad had penetrated the target and the cardboard box I had it taped to. It punched clean through, which leads me to believe that the shot is remaining in the wad way too long. This may be why I was getting such sparse shot patterns. My suggestion to anyone considering this ammo is to buy one box and pattern. If you are pleased it could be a great buy. I bought 2 boxes, which I can not return and am stuck with shells that I would never want to shoot at geese for fear of wounding birds and not bringing them down. Hope this review helps.
