Rio 20 ga Game Load 2-3/4" 1250fps 1 oz #8 Shot - CASE

The Rio Game Load 20-gauge #8 is a clean-burning, economical lead shotshell designed for upland hunting and light clay target use. This is a very popular, soft-shooting option that delivers high pellet count and forgiving patterns in an easy-handling 20-gauge package.

Each shell is loaded with 1 oz of premium chilled #8 lead shot (approximately 410–420 pellets) at a moderate ~1250 fps (most Rio 20ga #8 field loads run around 1250 fps). The high pellet count creates dense, uniform patterns — perfect for small, fast-flying targets at close to moderate ranges.
