Details

Whether you are looking for ammo for self-defense, hunting, or just range training, Rio has created a great product for you. Each shell in this case of 250 fires 9 pellets of 00 buckshot. This is a Low Recoil load, and as a result has muzzle velocity of 1200 feet per second compared to Rio's standard 00 buckshot which has muzzle velocity of 1345 feet per second. This lower velocity results in reduced recoil which really makes this load shine for self-defense purposes.

Historically Rio manufactured all of its ammo in Spain, but in 2015 they opened a plant in Marshall, Texas and now manufacture some of their ammunition there. Rio is one of the few manufacturers of ammunition that manufactures all of the main raw materials used in their ammunition. Rio manufactures the cases, primers, powder, wads, and shot in order to keep a tight control on quality.

A: Yes. One thing to note is that the Rio Royal primer pockets are approximately 2 thousandths of an inch larger than American standard primer pockets. American primers will be a little large, but the Rio-manufactured primers will work quite well.

A: Either one is a good choice for home defense, with the low recoil loads being easier to control. However, both will penetrate multiple interior walls if they do not first hit the body of a bad guy. Shot placement is paramount in a home defense situation.

A: 12 Gauge 00 Buckshot is one of the best loads for home defense. Slugs may also be appropriate, depending on your living situation and home construction.

A: Low recoil ammo is manufactured by either reducing the mass or velocity of the projectile(s) - or both. Different methods are used by different manufacturers.
