The Rio Game Load 20 Gauge 2.75in #8 Shot (part no. RC208) brings the same performance and reliability shooters expect from Rio’s 12-gauge lineup into a 20-gauge shell. Rio manufactures its own components in a vertically integrated operation and holds every Game Load shell to the same strict quality-control standards across its full range of payloads, velocities, and shot types. Rio markets its 20-gauge Game Load as America’s most popular 20-gauge cartridge, and this 1-ounce load of #8 lead shot is built for upland birds and clays where a lighter, faster-handling shell is an advantage.
