The Rio Ammunition Texas Game Load delivers consistent high-velocity performance for upland bird hunting and small game applications. This 12-gauge load combines proven powder charges with precision-sorted shot to maximize effective range and stopping power.
What Makes This Different
Rio's Texas Game Load features a specialized powder blend that generates higher velocities than standard field loads while maintaining manageable recoil. The 1 1/4-ounce payload provides 15% more shot than typical 1-ounce loads, increasing pattern density and hit probability. Quality control standards ensure consistent velocities within 25 fps across the entire production run.
Key Features
- High-velocity 12-gauge load optimized for game birds and small game
- 1 1/4-ounce shot charge delivers dense, effective patterns
- #6 shot size provides optimal balance of energy and pellet count
- 2.75-inch hull fits all standard 12-gauge shotguns
- Reliable primer ignition in temperature extremes
- Consistent powder charge for predictable ballistics
- 25-round boxes with 10 boxes per case (250 total rounds)
Field testing demonstrates effective patterns out to 40 yards on medium-sized game birds. The #6 shot retains sufficient energy for clean kills on dove, quail, and pheasant while providing enough pellets for moving targets. Weather-resistant hull construction prevents moisture absorption during extended hunting trips.
