Purpose-Built Performance
Rio's Dove Load shotshells are engineered specifically for the wingshooting enthusiast. The combination of 1-1/8 ounces of #8 shot and 1200 fps velocity creates a pattern dense enough to connect on agile targets while maintaining the energy needed for clean, ethical harvests.
Why #8 Shot?
#8 shot is the standard for dove and similar upland game. The smaller pellets create a tighter, more consistent pattern at typical wingshooting distances—ideal for small, fast-moving targets that demand precision.
Consistent, Reliable Performance
Whether you're working a dove field at dawn or pursuing other wingshooting opportunities, Rio ammunition delivers the consistency you need to focus on your shooting rather than your ammunition.
