The Rio Ammunition Texas Game Load High Velocity delivers consistent knockdown power for upland game hunting with its precision-loaded 1 1/4 oz payload of #6 shot. This 12-gauge shell combines proven ballistics with reliable ignition to maximize your success in the field.
What Makes This Different
Rio's Texas Game Load features a high-velocity powder charge that pushes the 1 1/4 oz shot payload at speeds exceeding standard field loads by 100-150 fps. The uniform shot pattern maintains tight groupings out to 40 yards, while the hard shot resists deformation during barrel transit. This combination delivers 15-20% more energy on target compared to standard velocity loads.

- 2.75" hull length fits all 12-gauge shotguns including semi-automatics
- Precision-crimped cases ensure consistent chamber pressure and extraction

Field testing demonstrates effective range on quail, dove, and pheasant out to 35 yards with proper choke selection. The #6 shot size provides optimal penetration on medium game birds while minimizing meat damage. These shells cycle reliably in gas-operated semi-automatics and provide consistent ejection in break-action guns across temperature ranges from 20°F to 100°F.
