Rio Royal Pheasant Copper Features The Rio Royal Pheasant Copper in 28 gauge delivers a full 1 oz of copper-plated lead #5 shot at 1 250 fps from a 2-3/4-inch 28-gauge high-brass hull providing hunters with a capable copper-reinforced upland load in the traditional sub-gauge platform. Copper plating reduces pellet deformation under ignition pressure and through the forcing cone and choke resulting in rounder harder pellets that maintain higher velocity downrange and produce tighter more consistent patterns than unplated lead equivalents. The high-brass hull provides structural integrity for this full 1 oz payload while the 209 primer ensures dependable ignition across all field conditions. Rio designed the Royal Pheasant Copper to give 28-gauge enthusiasts the same range and penetration advantages of copper-plated loads that 12 and 20-gauge hunters have long relied upon opening up longer shots and improving the odds on running flushing-wild ringnecks and other large upland birds. The #5 copper-plated charge performs reliably through modified and light modified chokes at typical pheasant and quail-hunting distances delivering the clean confident kills that define a purpose-built upland hunting shell. For sub-gauge hunters who demand copper-plated performance from a 28-gauge field load the Rio Royal Pheasant Copper 28 GA is available in a 25-round box for sale at GrabAGun.
