Rio Ammunition Texas Game Load shotgun ammo is purpose-built for dove hunting and upland game where consistent, tight patterns matter. This 12 gauge 2.75" load combines 1 1/4 oz of lead shot in 8 shot—a classic dove and quail specification that delivers the pellet density and velocity needed for clean, ethical takes at typical field distances. Rio manufactures key components in-house, which translates to reliable brass, consistent powder charges, and repeatable ballistics from box to box.

Whether you're working a September dove field or jumping birds over a pointer, this load punches above its price point. The high brass construction handles repeated shooting without premature wear on your gun's firing pin, and the 2.75" hull fits any standard 12 gauge chamber. Rio's Texas heritage and in-house manufacturing mean you're shooting ammo built by people who actually hunt the terrain you do.

Each box contains 25 rounds; the case holds 10 boxes for a total of 250 rounds—enough to stock up before season or share a few boxes with hunting buddies. If you're stocking a blind or filling your vest for a morning in the field, Rio Texas Game Load delivers proven performance at honest value.
