RIO AMMO Royal Pigeon cartridge
With Royal Pigeon we have achieved an efficient and consistent cartridge that is ideal for the rigors of off-season training for hunters and competition shooters alike.
The combination of Royal Pigeon CD for the first shot – with less velocity and greater dispersion – and Royal Pigeon LD for the subsequent shots for greater velocity and shot grouping ensures the perfect set up for flushed birds on the wing.
Royal Pigeon cartridge opinion

Miguel Jesús Sanchez
“Río Cartridges put together all the characteristics that a good cartridge should have: technology, safety, efficiency, enthusiasm, passion and concentration… and providing the best results.
For clay shooting, I recommend the Royal Pigeon, a cartridge with dense, compact dispersion, with excellent velocities leaving no trace of powder in the barrel. I thank Rio Cartridges for their Maximum Exigency in the manufacture of their cartridges, together with their technology.”

Pelayo Galindo
Royal Pigeon CD first shot and Royal Cd LD second shot in Clay Shooting and Vinci 32G “I have spent 5 years shooting it and it has never varied in velocity, in impact, in penetration, all of which have made it become a super-reliable cartridge. This has been key and has made it possible for me to achieve so many victories in annual regularity and to have won the number of titles I possess.”
