The Rio Ammunition TT208 Top Target delivers consistent clay-breaking performance for competitive shooters and sporting clay enthusiasts. This 20-gauge load combines precision engineering with reliable ignition to maintain tight shot patterns and consistent velocities across temperature ranges.
What Makes This Different
Rio's Top Target series utilizes premium plastic hulls and specially formulated powder charges that produce lower felt recoil than standard field loads while maintaining effective downrange energy. The hard shot pellets resist deformation during barrel travel, creating tighter patterns at extended distances. Quality control standards ensure shot-to-shot consistency that competitive shooters demand for tournament-level performance.
Key Features
- 7/8 ounce shot charge delivers optimal pattern density for clay targets
- #8 shot size provides ideal pellet count and energy for sporting clays
- 2.75-inch hull length fits all standard 20-gauge chambers
- Premium plastic hull construction ensures reliable extraction
- Consistent powder charge maintains uniform velocities
- Hard shot pellets resist deformation for tighter patterns
- Low-flash powder reduces muzzle signature in competition
Field testing shows this load produces consistent 1,200 fps velocities with minimal deviation across temperature ranges from 32°F to 90°F. The balanced powder charge reduces felt recoil compared to heavier 1-ounce loads while maintaining sufficient energy for reliable clay breaks at sporting clay distances. Competition shooters report consistent performance in both semi-automatic and over-under shotguns across major manufacturers.
