Performance
The copper plating on these pellets is not merely cosmetic. It reduces deformation as shot travels through the air, maintaining a tighter pattern and higher velocity at distance. This means your effective range extends beyond what you might expect from standard lead shot, and your patterns remain dense enough for clean, ethical harvests.
Whether you're working a stubble field or pushing through brush, Rio Royal Pheasant shells deliver the reliability and performance serious upland hunters expect.
