The Rio Star Team EVO STT328 delivers consistent patterns and reliable ignition for competitive clay shooting and sporting applications. This premium 12-gauge load combines European manufacturing precision with performance-oriented components designed for high-volume shooting disciplines.
What Makes This Different
The Star Team EVO series incorporates Rio's advanced wad technology and precisely metered powder charges to achieve tighter shot patterns than standard field loads. The 1 1/8-ounce payload of #8 shot provides optimal pellet count for clay targets while maintaining manageable recoil characteristics. Quality control standards exceed SAAMI specifications, ensuring shot-to-shot consistency across temperature ranges.
Key Features
- 1 1/8-ounce #8 shot payload optimized for clay target sports
- 2.75-inch hull length fits all standard 12-gauge chambers
- High-antimony shot resists deformation for consistent patterns
- Temperature-stable powder maintains velocity in varying conditions
- Brass-plated steel head construction for reliable extraction
- 25-round boxes with 10 boxes per case (250 total rounds)
- Manufactured in Spain under ISO quality standards
Field testing demonstrates consistent velocities around 1,200 fps with tight pattern density at sporting clays distances. The load performs effectively in trap, skeet, and sporting clays competitions where shot placement accuracy determines scores. Weather-resistant primer sealing maintains reliability during humid conditions and temperature fluctuations common at outdoor ranges.
