The Rio STT288 Star Team EVO delivers consistent performance for competitive clay sports with precision-engineered 12 gauge shells. Each 2.75-inch hull contains 1 ounce of #8 shot optimized for sporting clays and trap disciplines. The Star Team EVO line represents Rio's commitment to match-grade ammunition at competitive prices.

What Makes This Different

Rio's Star Team EVO shells feature enhanced wad design and consistent powder charges that deliver tighter patterns compared to standard sporting loads. The plastic hull construction ensures reliable extraction in semi-automatic shotguns while maintaining consistent chamber pressure. Independent testing shows pattern consistency within 3% across temperature ranges from 32°F to 100°F.

Key Features

  • 1 ounce of premium #8 shot for optimal clay breaking performance
  • 2.75-inch plastic hull with reinforced base wad construction
  • Consistent 1,200 fps muzzle velocity across temperature ranges
  • Low-flash powder formulation reduces muzzle signature
  • Nickel-plated brass head prevents corrosion in humid conditions
  • Compatible with all 12 gauge shotguns chambered for 2.75" shells
  • Bulk packaging reduces per-round cost for high-volume shooters
Competitive shooters report reliable cycling in gas-operated semi-automatics including Beretta A400 and Remington 1100 platforms. The #8 shot size provides sufficient energy for sporting clays out to 40 yards while maintaining dense patterns. Weather-resistant components perform consistently in humid coastal environments and dry desert conditions.
