Rio's GAMELOAD line has earned a solid reputation among hunters looking for dependable ammunition that doesn't break the bank. This 20-gauge 3-inch loading packs 1-1/4 ounces of #7.5 shot into a premium plastic hull with high brass casing, designed to feed smoothly through any pump-action or semi-automatic shotgun. The #7.5 shot size strikes a sweet spot for upland birds—plenty of pellets in the pattern for consistent hits on quail, grouse, doves, and pheasant while maintaining excellent range retention.
These shells produce a muzzle velocity of around 1250 fps, giving you the speed needed to cleanly harvest birds at typical hunting distances. Rio manufactures these with their own vertically integrated components and decades of ammunition expertise, meaning you get consistent quality shot to shot. The premium powder and non-corrosive primers ensure reliable ignition and clean-burning performance in the field.
If you're running a 20-gauge that's chambered for 3-inch shells, these GAMELOAD rounds give you everything a 2.75-inch standard load can do, plus extra shot weight for more reliable knockdown. The reduced recoil compared to 12-gauge makes these ideal for younger hunters, beginners, or anyone who wants to carry a lighter shotgun all season. Many experienced upland hunters swear by 20-gauge ammunition for hunting with pointing dogs where ranges tend to be closer and precision matters more than sheer payload.
Each box contains 25 shells ready to load and shoot. Rio packages these 25-round boxes with 10 boxes per case if you want to stock up, making it easy to have reliable ammunition ready whenever the season opens.
These are 3-inch magnum shells, so your shotgun must be chambered for 3-inch shells. Most modern 20-gauge shotguns accept both 2.75-inch and 3-inch shells, but always verify your gun's chamber marking before loading. Many older guns are limited to 2.75-inch shells.
Number 7.5 shot is ideal for upland birds like quail, doves, grouse, and pheasant. The smaller pellets provide excellent pattern density and penetration at moderate ranges typical of upland hunting. Many experienced hunters also use this size for clay target practice and recreational shooting.
Rio GAMELOAD shells offer solid performance and value. The 1-1/4 oz payload in a 3-inch shell gives you more shot than standard 2.75-inch loads while staying reasonably priced. The 1250 fps velocity is respectable for upland hunting, and Rio's quality control ensures consistent patterning from box to box.
Yes, Rio's premium plastic hulls with high brass casings are designed to be reloadable. However, inspect each hull for defects and uniformity before reloading, especially after multiple uses. Proper reloading technique is critical for safety and performance.
