Rio RCHV2875 28 Gauge Game Load Heavy Field 1oz #7.5 Shot 25rd

The Rio RCHV2875 Game Load Heavy Field delivers consistent patterns and reliable performance for upland bird hunting in 28 gauge. This premium ammunition combines a full 1-ounce payload with #7.5 shot in a standard 2.75-inch shell, providing the stopping power needed for pheasant, grouse, and similar game birds.

What Makes This Different

Rio's Heavy Field loads stand apart from standard field ammunition through their increased payload density and consistent powder charges. While typical 28 gauge loads carry 3/4 ounce of shot, this Heavy Field variant packs a full ounce for improved downrange energy. The precision-manufactured hull and quality components ensure uniform velocities shot after shot, translating to predictable point of impact and tighter patterns.

Key Features

• Full 1-ounce shot payload maximizes knockdown power in 28 gauge platform
• #7.5 shot size provides optimal pellet count and penetration for medium game birds
• 2.75-inch shell length fits all standard 28 gauge chambers
• High-quality plastic hull with reliable brass head construction
• Consistent powder charges deliver uniform velocities across temperature ranges
• 25 rounds per box with 10 boxes per case (250 total rounds)
• Manufactured to SAAMI specifications for safe use in all 28 gauge firearms

Field testing demonstrates reliable cycling in both semi-automatic and over/under shotguns, with clean-burning powder that minimizes fouling during extended shooting sessions. The Heavy Field load excels in hunting scenarios where maximum effectiveness is required from the smaller 28 gauge platform, particularly when pursuing birds at moderate ranges of 25-35 yards. Weather-resistant primer sealing ensures dependable ignition in humid conditions common during waterfowl and upland seasons.
