Rio Ammunition
What we do today resonates long after we are gone. It is ours to manage
now but soon we will hand it over to a new generation of hunters and sport
shooters for them to treasure. Our legacy is defined by the quality of what
they inherit and the natural beauty we safeguard for those that come after...
...the shared memories, the handed-down wisdom, and the sense of awe and
wonder we feel in the outdoors.
What we leave behind matters.
From all of us at Rio, we thank you for sharing our vision.

Despite the varying regional differences in upland hunting conditions,one thing is constant—there are usually few opportunities to shoot,
the shot is almost always a surprise and your ammo choice can’t let youdown. Because it has the same amount of lead plus the additional weight
of added copper, Rio’s Royal Pheasant provides the effective punchneeded from further out than standard game loads.
Turkey hunters are some of the most passionate bird hunters in the country.A lot of time and effort goes into finding the right spot and honing the special
skills needed to draw in a Tom close enough for the perfect shot. Rarely is thehunter given a second chance, and the first shot must count in order to put a
bird on the table. The new Royal Turkey Buffered Copper load was designed forthe best pattern possible when given that “one-shot-counts” situation.
