BALANCE. It’s not just good to have while you are traversing the Grand Canyon via tightrope. It is also why Rio Wing & Target 12 Gauge ammunition is a solid choice for taking upland game or smashing airborne clay!

This shotshell unleashes a thick, powerful pattern *without* heavy accompanying recoil. It is loaded with tiny #8 shot pellets, which is why it’s able to punch over 400 holes despite having only 1 ounce of shot. It is charged to a muzzle velocity of 1,250 fps, which simplifies aiming on a moving target and carries ample bird/clay busting energy downrange. The 3 dram equivalent shell’s light payload and average (for a target load) muzzle velocity add up to not imperceptible recoil, but relatively gentle recoil all the same.

Rio is popular among Texans who want to buy local as much as they are able. The company has a lot of pedigree, too, being a subsidiary of the very same Spanish explosives firm the inventor of dynamite founded in 1872 (Alfred Nobel originally named Maxam “Sociedad Española de la Pólvora Dinamit”).
