The Rio Top Game Magnum 12 Gauge 3-Inch 1-3/4oz #5 Shot load (Rio part no. TGM505) is a full-power magnum field load built for hunters who need every pellet to count on tough, late-season birds. Rio’s lead game loads are engineered for consistency and reliability from the first hunt of the season to the last, and the 3-inch magnum hull carries a heavier payload than a standard field shell for extra downrange energy. The #5 shot size strikes a balance between pattern density and knockdown power on larger upland and waterfowl species. It is a serious option among Rio’s shotgun shells for hunters who want more than a standard-weight load.
