The Rio RC20MGN6 Game Load delivers consistent patterns and reliable performance for upland bird hunting and small game pursuit. This 20-gauge ammunition combines proven powder charges with precision-sorted shot to maximize effectiveness in the field.
What Makes This Different
Rio's Game Load series utilizes computer-controlled powder measuring and shot sorting to achieve tighter shot patterns than standard field loads. The 3-inch magnum shell length provides 25% more shot capacity compared to 2.75-inch shells, extending effective range for challenging shots. Quality control testing ensures each lot meets strict velocity and pattern consistency standards before shipping.
