Rio Ammunition Wing & Target Rio Wt208 Wing&targt 20g 2 3/4 7/8 8 25/10

Rio Ammunition Wing & Target 20-gauge shotshell delivers versatile, affordable performance for hunters and clay shooters who want one load to handle multiple roles. This 2¾-inch shell pairs a ⅞-ounce payload with No. 8 shot, struck at 1250 fps—a proven velocity that balances pattern density, range, and recoil across a wide range of 20-gauge shotguns, from break-actions to semi-autos. Whether you're working upland birds in the field or running a round of trap or skeet, Wing & Target gives you the ballistics and reliability Rio has built its reputation on without breaking your ammo budget.

The 20-gauge is already efficient—lighter recoil, easier carry, and tighter shot strings than its 12-gauge cousin—and Rio's Wing & Target load leans into that advantage. The ⅞-ounce charge is the sweet spot for flushing game or engaging clays at typical hunting and sport-shooting distances, while the No. 8 shot size provides consistent, forgiving patterns. You get 25 rounds per box and 10 boxes per case, so restocking your shell bag or ammo locker is straightforward.

Rio has been loading ammunition for American shooters since 1927, and it shows in their attention to consistent primers, powder charges, and hull quality. Wing & Target isn't exotic or match-grade, but it's honest ammo—the kind you can depend on, reload, and buy without guilt when you're running volume through the pattern board or burning birds on a good hunting day.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will Rio Wing & Target 20-gauge load work in my shotgun?

Wing & Target 20-gauge 2¾-inch shells are designed to function in standard 20-gauge shotguns, including over-unders, side-by-sides, pump actions, and semi-automatics. Always verify your shotgun's chamber length (2¾ inch or longer) before loading. Consult your owner's manual if you're unsure.

What's the difference between No. 8 shot and smaller or larger sizes?

No. 8 shot is a general-purpose pellet size popular for clay shooting and upland game. Smaller shot (No. 9) offers denser patterns at shorter range; larger shot (No. 7½) carries further and hits harder. No. 8 splits the difference, making it versatile for many situations without specialization.

Can I reload Rio Wing & Target hulls?

Rio shells are manufactured to reloading-friendly standards, and many shooters do reload them. Inspect hulls for damage before reloading, and follow safe reloading practices and your equipment's load data.

How many rounds do I get in a case?

Each case contains 10 boxes of 25 rounds, for a total of 250 shells per case.
