Rio Bluesteel Dove Load Features The Rio Bluesteel Dove Load brings Rio s wingshooting performance philosophy to a fully non-toxic platform loading 1 oz of #7 steel shot into a 2-3/4-inch 12-gauge hull and pushing it to 1 350 fps. The elevated velocity compensates for steel s lower density compared to lead maintaining effective energy transfer and pattern density at typical upland shooting ranges. Low-brass construction and a 209 primer support consistent ignition and smooth chambering in a broad range of field shotguns rated for steel ammunition. Rio designed the Bluesteel Dove Load for hunters who operate in areas where lead is restricted or who prefer a non-toxic option without sacrificing downrange performance. The higher velocity also enhances pattern uniformity through steel-compatible chokes allowing shooters to maintain their standard field setup without specialized equipment. For dove and upland hunters who prioritize environmental responsibility alongside effective stopping power the Rio Bluesteel Dove Load 12 GA is available in a 25-round box for sale at GrabAGun.
