The Rio Game Load Magnum 20 Gauge 3in #6 shotshell (part no. RC20MGN6) loads a heavy 1-1/4 ounce payload into the 20-gauge magnum hull for hunters who want more knockdown power without stepping up to a 12-gauge. Rio Ammunition engineers Game Load around primers, powders, and wads matched specifically for consistent patterns, so hunters put more pellets on target round after round instead of hoping for a lucky pattern. It’s a broad-line load, offered across shot sizes and payloads, built for hunters who need a dependable all-around field round. This shotgun shells gives a lighter 20-gauge gun genuine magnum-level payload for game that needs more than a standard charge.
