Deep Dive

Overview

This 12 gauge ammo is intended for clay target shooting, including trap, skeet, and sporting clays. The 1 oz payload is a common target load, offering a balance between recoil control and effective shot patterns. The #7.5 shot size provides slightly more reach than smaller shot sizes, making it suitable for a range of target distances. This load is typically used in 12 gauge shotguns chambered for 2 3/4" shells. The 1,250 fps velocity supports consistent shot timing and reliable target breaks. It is well-suited for both practice and informal competition settings where consistent performance is important.

History and Development

Rio has a long-standing history in ammunition manufacturing, with origins tied to the Sociedad Española de la Dinamita (SED), founded in 1872 in Spain. Over time, the company developed into a producer of cartridges for hunting and sport shooting applications. Rio emphasizes integrated manufacturing, maintaining control over key components including hulls, primers, powders, wads, and shot. The Star Team line was developed in collaboration with experienced shooters to support clay target disciplines such as trap, skeet, and sporting clays. This approach reflects a focus on application-specific design and consistent performance across training and competition use.
