Rio Royal Bala MG Slug 12 Gauge 1-1/3 oz

The Rio Royal Bala MG Slug is a hard-hitting 12 Gauge shotgun slug load engineered for maximum terminal performance. Built around a Brenneke-style design, this 1-1/3 oz armored slug features a conical steel nose cap running through the center of its copper-plated lead body. At impact, the lead component shatters to deliver devastating energy transfer while the steel penetrator continues driving forward — combining massive tissue disruption with deep, reliable penetration. Loaded to 1,410 fps from a 2-3/4" shell with a stout 3-3/4 dram powder charge, this load generates well over 2,500 ft-lbs of muzzle energy.

Developed with both big game hunters and tactical operators in mind, the Rio Royal Bala MG Slug excels in situations demanding both raw stopping power and reliable penetration. The dual-action terminal design — fragmenting lead for energy dump, steel penetrator for barrier defeat — makes this load a compelling choice for hunting large or dangerous game as well as law enforcement applications. Rio Ammunition, a Spanish manufacturer with roots dating back to 1896 and part of the Maxam Outdoors group, brings decades of European ammunition expertise to this formidable slug load.
