Rio Royal Pheasant 28 Gauge 5-Shot Copper-Plated

Rio Royal Pheasant 28 Gauge Ammunition

Rio Ammunition's Royal Pheasant line represents a thoughtful approach to 28-gauge shotgun hunting. This load pairs copper-plated shot with a 5-shot payload in a 2.75-inch shell, creating a balanced option for hunters who appreciate the mild recoil and efficiency of the 28-gauge platform.

Key Features

• Copper-Plated Shot: Provides consistent patterns and reliable performance on game
• 5-Shot Payload: Optimized for effective range and energy delivery on upland birds
• 2.75-inch Shell: Standard 28-gauge length for compatibility with most shotguns
• Proven Design: Rio's heritage in upland ammunition manufacturing

Performance Characteristics

The copper-plated shot construction ensures uniform pellet density and reduces deformation during firing, resulting in tighter, more predictable shot patterns. This is particularly valuable when hunting pheasants, where clean, ethical kills depend on consistent pellet placement.

The 5-shot payload strikes a practical balance—sufficient pellets for reliable game taking without excessive recoil, making this an excellent choice for all-day hunting sessions.

Ideal For

• Upland game hunting, particularly pheasant
• Shooters who prefer 28-gauge efficiency
• Hunters seeking proven, reliable ammunition
