Rio Ammunition has had a formal US presence since 2002, and the Texas Game Load represents something of a flagship for the brand — a cartridge created to reflect the values Rio has built its reputation on: consistency, quality, and honest performance. The "TX Game HV" designation signals this is a high-velocity offering, making it a solid choice when you need a little extra reach in the field, whether you're working a pheasant cover, walking up quail, or hunting the Texas brush country that inspired the load in the first place.

At 1-1/4 oz, this is a substantial payload for a 2.75" hull — giving you a dense, even pattern that transitions well across a variety of choke configurations. Rio has long been known for manufacturing shotshells that cycle reliably in both semi-automatic and pump-action shotguns, and the Game Load line is no exception. If you burn through shells on high-volume hunts or simply want a dependable lead game load that won't leave you second-guessing, the Rio TX Game HV deserves a spot in your shell pouch.

Whether you're a Texas native or just hunting like one, the Rio 12 Gauge Texas Game Load offers the kind of straightforward, hardworking performance that keeps hunters coming back season after season. Pick up a box — or a case — and see why this load has become a perennial staple at hunting camps from the Gulf Coast to the High Plains.
