Sub-gauge, but far from sub-standard...

In our constant quest to bring hunters more, Rio offers a complete range of smaller gauge cartridges.

As with every cartridge Rio produces, these subgauge shot shells benefit from over a century of research, development and innovation.

Whether you shoot 16, 20, 28 or .410, you can be assured that Rio's experience and attention to precision accompany every shell in the chamber.
