The Rio Star Team EVO Target delivers consistent clay-breaking performance with precision-engineered components that reduce felt recoil while maintaining reliable ignition. This 12-gauge target load features Rio's advanced powder formulation and premium shot quality designed for competitive clay sports.
What Makes This Different
The Star Team EVO series incorporates Rio's low-recoil technology that reduces muzzle jump by approximately 15% compared to standard target loads. The specially formulated powder burns cleaner and more consistently, resulting in tighter shot patterns and reduced barrel fouling. Each shell undergoes quality control testing to ensure uniform velocity within 25 fps across the entire production run.
Key Features
- 7/8 oz shot charge with premium #7.5 lead shot for optimal clay breaking power
- 2.75" hull length compatible with all 12-gauge shotguns
- Low-recoil powder formula reduces felt recoil and muzzle rise
- Consistent 1200 fps muzzle velocity for predictable ballistics
- High-quality plastic hull with reliable brass-plated steel head
- Clean-burning powder minimizes barrel residue buildup
- 25 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case (250 total rounds)
Target shooters benefit from the consistent shot patterns and reduced recoil fatigue during extended practice sessions. The load performs reliably in semi-automatic shotguns while providing the soft shooting characteristics preferred for trap, skeet, and sporting clays competition. The clean-burning powder formulation maintains consistent performance across temperature ranges from 32°F to 100°F.
