This Rio Dove Load High Velocity shotshell (part no. RDL32HV8) steps up from Rio’s standard dove loads with a heavier 1-1/8 ounce payload of #8 shot pushed at a higher velocity, giving Rio Ammunition shooters more pellets and a faster shot string for tougher dove-hunting conditions. The extra payload and speed help extend effective range and pattern density compared to a standard-weight dove load, making it a strong choice for hunters facing wind or longer crossing shots. It ships in a 2.75-inch, 12 gauge shell sold by the box.
