Rio Ammunition Game Load 16 Gauge 2.75" 1 1/8 oz. 25 Rounds - RCHV168

Rio Ammunition Game Load 16 gauge shotshells deliver reliable, affordable performance for upland game hunting and clay shooting. These 2.75" shells load 1 1/8 oz. of lead shot per round, balancing pattern density and payload in a compact format that works well in most 16 gauge shotguns. Whether you're working through a box at the range or heading afield after pheasant or quail, Rio's consistent manufacturing means you'll get dependable ignition and clean patterns round after round.

The 16 gauge sits in a sweet spot for hunters who want something lighter recoiling than 12 gauge but with more shot energy than a 20. Rio's Game Load ammunition is built to that middle ground—offering solid ballistics without the shoulder punishment of magnum loads. The 25-round box is practical for practice sessions, field days, and restocking your vest pocket without breaking the bank.

Rio has been loading shotshells for serious hunters and shooters since 1926. Their Game Load line focuses on straightforward, no-frills performance at accessible costs. You're not paying for premium packaging or marketing; you're getting ammunition that patterns clean and fires consistently, which is exactly what matters when the moment comes.
