Rio Ammunition Royal BlueSteel Magnum 12 gauge shotshells deliver the performance waterfowlers and upland hunters expect from a steel-shot option. These 3-inch loads push 1-1/4 oz of #3 shot, balancing effective range with pattern density for ducks, geese, and other game birds. Steel shot requires a compatible barrel, so verify your shotgun is rated for steel before loading up—but if you run a modern duck gun or a versatile field gun, these rounds are built to handle serious hunting conditions.

Rio has engineered Royal BlueSteel to cycle reliably in a range of 12-gauge platforms while maintaining consistent velocity and shot distribution. The magnum loading gives you the extra punch needed on longer passing shots, and #3 pellets sit in that sweet spot: large enough to retain energy downrange, small enough to deliver a denser pattern than larger shot sizes. Whether you're working a marsh at first light or pushing birds in late-season conditions, these are the kind of rounds that let you focus on your shot, not your ammunition.

The case format—25 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case—makes it easy to stock up and plan your season. Grab a case and you've got 250 rounds ready to go, with boxes sized conveniently for your blind or truck bed.
