[Wood Duck Call]

Woodies don't particularly respond to either decoys or calls.

Find the X and be there.

I agree 100%!

[Shells coming apart?!]

If the shell chambers tight has to to be the shell, it may not have been sized properly at the factory. As for the brass popping off, you got to be kidding me......I would never shoot that crap again.

 

I reload Win AA, Rem STS, Rem Gun Clubs, and a dozen times or more per case and never saw the brass seperate from the plastic.

 

Your Rio's I assume are factory new......I would be causious of the at brand especially if you see a lot bad shells.

I as well believe you have a shell problem if your shells fit properly into the barrel. I also reload many different type shells ( not Rio's ) and have never had this problem. This problem also sounds very dangerous. If it is indeed the shells I would destroy them or definately get rid of them.
