Rio Dove Load 12 Gauge shells (brand part no. RDL3275) are built for one of wingshooting’s biggest challenges: small, fast, agile targets that demand a load matched precisely to the job. Rio Ammunition loads this shell with a full 1-1/8 ounce charge of #7.5 lead shot at 1200 fps on the standard 2.75 inch hull. That combination of payload and velocity is tuned to bag your limit on dove and similar upland birds without over-penetrating or under-patterning. The 25-round box is a convenient size to carry into the field for a morning hunt.
