Rio Ammunition Game Load Heavy Field 28 Gauge 2.75-Inch 1oz #7.5 Shot Shells, 25-Round Box

Rio Ammunition Game Load Heavy Field shotshells (brand part no. RCHV2875) load a full 1 ounce of #7.5 shot in a 28 gauge, 2.75-inch hull, giving sub-gauge upland hunters a heavier payload than typical 28-gauge shells without stepping up to 20 or 12 gauge. The 28 gauge has earned a loyal following among upland hunters who want less weight in hand and softer recoil through a long walking hunt, but a light payload can leave patterns thin at the edges; Rio’s Heavy Field loading closes that gap with a genuinely full 1-ounce charge. #7.5 shot patterns densely enough for the smaller upland birds a 28-gauge hunter typically pursues. For 28-gauge upland hunters who want a heavier payload without giving up the gauge’s light-carrying advantage, this shotgun shell from Rio Ammunition is built for exactly that.
