RST is very good ammunition.

If it's better for your applications only you can decide.

AA skeet loads run 1200 FPS, their 'Supersport' load 1300. RST shows 20 different loads, from 1100 to 1300 FPS. Their 'brush' and 'woodcock' loads both show 5/8 oz. at 1175 FPS.

AA is known to use high quality very hard shot. I suspect RST uses good shot also.

The difference in time of flight to 40 yards between same size round lead shot launched at either 1100 or 1300 FPS is about .01 second. A 90 degree deflection target at 50 MPH can move about 8" during this time. That is very worst case, the majority of targets will only move a small fraction of that. Can you point a shotgun consistently well enough for that to matter?
