Rio Ammunition Royal Buck 12 Gauge 2-3/4in 00 Buck 5Rd 9 Pellets RB12905

The Rio Ammunition Royal Buck 12 Gauge 2-3/4" 00 Buckshot load is engineered for hunters and home-defenders who demand absolute consistency at close-to-medium ranges. A common headache with conventional buckshot is that soft lead pellets warp and flatten out under the immense pressure of ignition, leading to wide, erratic spreads and missed targets. Rio solves this problem by using precision die-pressed, true-round pellets that resist crushing, giving you a tight, dense, and highly predictable pattern with every shot.

The technical advantage is found in Rio’s optimized internal ballistics and proprietary component matching. By ensuring each of the 9 lead pellets is perfectly spherical, the payload flies with uniform aerodynamics and minimal shot stringing. This round pairs that precise payload with a specially designed gas-sealing wad and clean-burning CSB smokeless powder. The result is perfectly managed pressure curves, consistent velocities, and highly repeatable downrange performance across different barrel lengths and choke restrictions.

Launching at a powerful 1,345 FPS, this 2-3/4" shell balances hard-hitting downrange energy with clean operational cycling. The proprietary wad controls payload release to maintain tight pattern groups, while the high-quality hull dimensions ensure smooth feeding and positive extraction. Whether you are running a rugged pump-action or a fast-cycling semi-automatic shotgun, it delivers the split-second reliability and stopping power needed when it counts.

Key Benefits

• Precision Die-Pressed Pellets: True-round lead projectiles resist deformation during ignition to prevent wide, erratic spreads.
• Proprietary Gas-Sealing Wad: Advanced wad architecture stabilizes the payload column and maximizes velocity consistency while shrinking your patterns.
• Clean-Burning CSB Powder: Premium smokeless propellants provide stable internal pressures and minimize action-gumming residue.
• Flawless Semi-Auto Cycling: High-strength hulls are engineered to feed smoothly and extract positively in both pump and semi-automatic platforms.
