The Rio Ammunition Heavy Field 28 Gauge 2-3/4-inch #7.5 Shot Shotshells pairs a 28 Gauge hull with a 1 oz #7.5 payload for upland hunters who want a dependable load in the vest (brand part no. RCHV2875). Rio Ammunition builds this Heavy Field shell to pattern consistently, round after round, without the flyers that ruin a clean shot. It is sized for upland bird hunts, where a shell that shoots the way the last box shot matters more than any spec sheet. Whether it is the first box of the season or the last one before the freezer is full, this load is built to be the one you do not have to think about. Find it filed with our shotgun shells lineup, stocked for the shooters who buy by the case.

Frequently Asked Questions

\n

How many rounds are in a box? 25 rounds per box.

\n

Is this shot steel or lead? Lead. It is not approved for waterfowl hunting under federal non-toxic shot rules, but it is a strong choice for upland bird hunts.

\n

What 28 Gauge chamber length does this need? A chamber rated for at least 2-3/4-inch; a longer chamber safely fires a shorter shell, but a shorter chamber should never fire a longer one.
