Rio Wing & Target Patriot Shotshells 12ga 2-3/4" 1oz 1250 fps #7.5 250/ct Case (10 Boxes 25/ct)

Rio Wing & Target Patriot shotshells deliver a reliable, affordable option for 12-gauge shooters who want one load that handles both upland game and clay targets without breaking the bank. This 2-3/4" shell loads 1 ounce of #7.5 shot at 1250 fps, a classic combination that patterns densely enough for clean kills on birds while staying gentle enough for extended clay sessions. Whether you're working dove fields in September or running a competitive trap league, these shells offer the consistency and value that have made Rio a trusted name with American hunters and shooters for decades.

The #7.5 shot size sits in that sweet spot between the larger pellets of a #6 and the finer pattern of an #8—it's the thinking shooter's choice when you want adequate energy on game without over-pelletizing. At 1250 fps, you get respectable velocity without the unnecessary recoil of magnum loads, which means more shells downrange and less shoulder punishment. A full case of 250 rounds (10 boxes of 25) keeps you stocked for a season's worth of hunting and practice.

Rio Outdoors has built a reputation on delivering performance without the premium price tag of boutique ammunition makers. These Patriot shells reflect that philosophy: clean-burning powder, consistent ignition, and dependable ballistics that cycle reliably through most 12-gauge autoloaders and pumps. If you're tired of piecing together different loads for different hunts, or you want practice ammo that matches your hunting load, Rio Wing & Target gives you one cartridge that does both jobs well.
