The Rio RCHV166 Game Load delivers consistent performance for upland bird hunters seeking reliable 16-gauge ammunition. This high-velocity load combines precision manufacturing with proven ballistics to ensure clean harvests on medium-sized game birds. Rio's quality control standards maintain shot consistency and velocity uniformity across every round.
What Makes This Different
Rio Ammunition builds these game loads with high-antimony lead shot that resists deformation during barrel travel, maintaining pellet roundness for improved pattern density. The brass-plated steel head construction provides reliable extraction and feeding in semi-automatic shotguns. Unlike standard field loads, these cartridges use progressive burning powder that delivers consistent velocities across temperature ranges while reducing felt recoil.Key Features
