Why Choose Rio Dove Load #7.5 Shotshells?
Rio Ammunition has built a strong reputation for producing high-quality, affordable shotshells that perform reliably in the field. The Dove Load series is specifically formulated for the demands of dove hunting, where fast-flying birds and high shot volumes are common. The #7.5 shot size provides a slight advantage in pellet energy compared to #8 shot, making these loads particularly effective on tougher or slightly longer-range shots while still delivering dense patterns. The 1 oz payload combined with 1250 fps velocity offers an excellent balance of speed, pattern quality, and manageable recoil, allowing hunters to maintain accuracy throughout a long day of shooting.
Ideal Applications
The Rio Dove Load 12ga #7.5 shotshells are primarily designed for mourning dove hunting but perform exceptionally well on other small upland game such as quail, snipe, and woodcock. The #7.5 shot size is an excellent all-around choice that provides both high pellet count and improved terminal performance compared to smaller shot sizes. These shells perform well in semi-automatic, pump-action, and double-barrel shotguns. Whether hunting over a dove field with multiple hunters or walking fields for scattered birds, the Rio Dove Loads deliver reliable ignition and consistent results.
Performance and Ballistics
With a muzzle velocity of 1250 feet per second, these Rio shotshells offer a flat trajectory and reduced lead requirements on crossing targets. The 1-ounce payload of #7.5 shot provides approximately 350 pellets per shell, creating dense yet effective patterns that increase the likelihood of clean harvests. The shells are loaded with clean-burning powder and high-quality wads that help maintain tight patterns while minimizing felt recoil. Hunters consistently report reliable performance and uniform patterns from box to box, making the Rio Dove Load #7.5 an excellent choice for both new and experienced dove hunters who want a bit more energy than standard #8 loads.
