The Rio Ammunition TT209 Top Target delivers consistent clay breaking performance with precision-engineered components that competitive shooters demand. This 20 gauge load combines optimal shot placement with reduced felt recoil for extended shooting sessions. High-quality components and strict quality control ensure reliable ignition and uniform patterns shot after shot.
What Makes This Different
The TT209 utilizes Rio's advanced powder formulation that produces consistent velocities across temperature variations while maintaining clean-burning characteristics. Unlike standard target loads that may vary in performance, this ammunition features carefully selected shot and wad combinations that deliver tight, even patterns. The 7/8 ounce payload provides sufficient energy for reliable clay breaks while generating manageable recoil that allows faster follow-up shots.
Key Features
- 7/8 ounce payload of precision-graded #9 shot for optimal clay breaking power
- 2.75-inch hull length fits all standard 20 gauge shotguns and semi-automatics
- Clean-burning powder reduces fouling and extends cleaning intervals
- Consistent 1200 fps muzzle velocity for predictable trajectories
- High-quality plastic hulls with reliable brass-plated steel heads
- Precision wad design promotes uniform shot patterns at sporting distances
- 25 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case (250 total rounds)
Field testing demonstrates excellent pattern consistency at standard trap and skeet distances, with minimal shot deformation that maintains pellet energy downrange. The moderate velocity and shot weight combination proves effective for sporting clays presentations while remaining comfortable for extended practice sessions. Temperature stability ensures consistent performance across seasonal shooting conditions, from cold morning hunts to hot summer competitions.
