Rio Star Team EVO 12 Gauge 2.75-Inch 1oz #8 Shot Shells, 25-Round Box

Rio Star Team EVO shotshells (brand part no. ST288) load 1 ounce of #8 shot in a 12 gauge, 2.75-inch hull, built for competition shooters who need a light-recoiling, dense target load for a full day of trap, skeet, or sporting clays. Star Team EVO is Rio’s dedicated competition line, engineered around consistent wad performance and pattern density rather than hunting-weight payloads. #8 shot at a lighter 1-ounce payload keeps recoil manageable through a full round or a long practice session, letting shooters maintain a consistent mount and swing late into the day. For competition shooters who want a light-recoiling, dense target pattern, this shotgun shell from Rio Ammunition is built for exactly that.
