The Rio Ammunition Star Team Training 24 Light delivers consistent performance for competitive shooters and training applications. This reduced-recoil 12-gauge load maintains reliable cycling while providing softer shooting characteristics that enable extended practice sessions without fatigue.
What Makes This Different
The Star Team Training formula reduces felt recoil by approximately 20% compared to standard trap loads while maintaining consistent velocities. The 7/8-ounce shot charge provides adequate target-breaking power at reduced cost per round. European manufacturing standards ensure uniform powder charges and consistent ignition across temperature ranges.
Key Features
- Reduced-recoil formula minimizes shooter fatigue during extended training
- 7/8-ounce #8 shot charge optimized for clay target sports
- 2.75-inch hull length compatible with all 12-gauge shotguns
- High-quality European primer system for reliable ignition
- Consistent velocity reduces point-of-impact variations
- Clean-burning powder minimizes barrel fouling
- Brass-plated steel head construction for reliable extraction
Field testing demonstrates consistent patterns at sporting clays distances with minimal barrel leading. The reduced powder charge maintains sufficient velocity for consistent target breaks while generating less muzzle blast. Shooters report improved accuracy during high-volume training sessions due to reduced flinch response. The load functions reliably in semi-automatic shotguns while producing less stress on action components.
