Rio 12 Gauge Ammo 2 3/4" 00 Buckshot 9 Pellets - RBJ129
Rio 12 gauge 00 buckshot ammo in this 2 3/4" configuration is designed for hunting and field use with a reduced recoil profile. This load features 9 pellets of 00 buckshot, a widely used configuration for consistent pattern coverage at close to moderate distances. With a listed muzzle velocity of 1,200 fps, it offers a more controlled shooting experience compared to higher-velocity buckshot loads. The reduced recoil design helps improve handling and follow-up shot control during repeated firing. Rio manufactures these shells with attention to consistent performance and reliable function across shots. Packaged in a 250-round case, this configuration is structured for higher-volume use. Case quantities of 12 gauge ammo include free shipping through Target Sports USA.

Deep Dive
Overview
This 12 gauge buckshot ammo is intended for hunting and field applications. It is commonly used in 12 gauge shotguns chambered for 2 3/4" shells. The 9-pellet 00 buckshot configuration provides effective pattern coverage at closer ranges. The 1,200 fps velocity, combined with the low recoil design, supports improved control and manageable shooting characteristics. This load is often selected when reduced recoil is preferred without significantly changing buckshot performance. It is well-suited for scenarios where consistent shot placement and control are important.
History and Development
Rio has a long-standing history in ammunition manufacturing, with origins tied to the Sociedad Española de la Dinamita (SED), founded in 1872 in Spain. Over time, the company developed into a producer of cartridges for hunting and sport shooting applications. Rio emphasizes integrated manufacturing, maintaining control over key components including hulls, primers, powders, wads, and shot. Its buckshot offerings reflect a focus on consistent performance, supported by controlled production processes and ongoing refinement. This approach aligns with Rio’s emphasis on reliability across its hunting ammunition lineup.
