RIO AMMUNITION – RELIABLE SHOTGUN SHELLS
Product Details
The RIO Vintage 1896 Paper Flyer brings a touch of classic shotgunning heritage to the modern range. These 12 Gauge, 2-3/4" shotshells are loaded with 1-1/4 oz (36g) of #7.5 lead shot and driven to a muzzle velocity of 1,300 fps, placing them squarely in the standard-velocity tier of the Vintage 1896 Flyer lineup. The hallmark of this load is its traditional paper hull — a nod to the cartridge designs of RIO's founding year — delivering that unmistakable nostalgic look, feel, and character that sets it apart from modern plastic-hulled competition shells.

The Vintage 1896 Paper Flyer is purpose-built for live pigeon and flyer shooting, though its dense, consistent patterns and manageable recoil make it equally at home on the trap, skeet, or sporting clays range. The generous 1-1/4 oz payload delivers the pattern density demanded by competitive flyer disciplines, while the 25mm premium brass head and single-base powder contribute to reliable ignition and shot-to-shot uniformity. Competitive shooters have noted the load's notably light felt recoil for its payload class — a welcome trait during high-volume practice sessions. Whether you're a serious competitor or simply appreciate the craftsmanship of a classic paper shell, the RIO Vintage 1896 Paper Flyer is a distinguished choice.
