About This Rio Ammunition 20 Gauge Ammunition
You’re not trying to gently nudge the animal. You are trying to stop it dead in its tracks, and ideally avoid traipsing after the thing like some kind of Texas Ranger pursuing a fugitive through the brambles. That’s why we advise taking a definitive approach to 20 Gauge slug hunting. Load ‘er up with Rio Royal Star!This shotgun shell packs a single, surly, lead projectile. It’s a slug; rifled, which (A) enables safe clearance through all but the most constrictive of chokes, and (B) requires the use of a smooth bore, which the vast majority of 20 Gauge shotguns already have. The slug’s absolute ripper of a 1,360 fps muzzle velocity grants it a flat-as-a-topographical-map-of-Florida trajectory (we checked; it’s flatter than Nebraska), as well as the 1,572 ft lbs muzzle energy which stands for drop-‘em-dead stopping power. Your quarry won’t know what hit it, and that’s not just because its animal brain can’t comprehend physics!
Rio is owned by MAXAM: a super-massive Spanish explosives manufacturer, which was founded by Alfred Nobel (the guy who invented dynamite and started some kind of award we can’t recall the name of right now). This ammo’s primer and powder are as good as you’d expect such a company’s to be. Everything else comes together to give you one walloper of a 20 for this hunting season.
