Rio Heavy Field 28-gauge shotshells deliver 1 ounce of #7.5 shot at 1300 feet per second. Purpose-built for small game hunting with consistent, tight patterns in 2¾-inch loads.
Rio Heavy Field shotshells represent a thoughtful approach to sub-gauge hunting. These loads were engineered specifically for small game hunters who demand reliability and consistent performance from their ammunition.
The 28-gauge is an elegant choice for upland game and small game hunting. Rio's Heavy Field line recognizes that sub-gauge shooters need ammunition that performs without compromise. The 1-ounce payload of #7.5 shot strikes an effective balance between pattern density and individual pellet energy—ideal for quail, dove, and similar game at typical hunting distances.
The 1300 feet per second velocity ensures adequate energy delivery while remaining manageable in lighter-recoiling sub-gauge firearms. Whether you're working through brush or taking longer shots in open country, these shells provide the consistency that separates successful hunts from frustrating days afield.
Rio ammunition has earned respect among hunters for decades. These shells deliver what they promise: reliable ignition, consistent patterns, and the kind of performance that builds confidence in your shotgun.
