Rio Star Team EVO 12 Gauge 2.75″ 1oz #7.5 Shot 25rd Box

Description

Rio has been building shotshells since 1896, and the Star Team EVO line represents the company putting everything it has learned about clay target performance into one cartridge. This particular load pairs a 1oz payload of #7.5 shot with a 2.75 inch hull, giving you a versatile combination that handles skeet, trap, and sporting clays without asking you to change anything about your setup. The shells run on a blue hull with a brass base, a look that regular clay shooters will recognize right away from the Rio lineup.

Why the Star Team EVO Load Holds Up Round After Round

What sets this cartridge apart isn't flashy marketing, it's the quality control behind every batch. Rio uses its own proprietary component selection and testing process to keep velocity, pressure, and pattern consistent from the first shell in the box to the last one in the case. Shooters who go through cases of clay loads every season notice this kind of consistency fastest, since a shell that patterns differently box to box throws off timing on the second bird in a double.

Recoil and Reliability on the STT2875

The powder and wad combination in this load is tuned to keep felt recoil low without sacrificing the energy needed to break clays cleanly at typical skeet and trap distances. That matters most on long practice days or tournament rounds where you're firing well over a hundred shells, since a shell that beats up your shoulder early tends to affect your form by the last few stations. The clean burning powder also means less residue built up in your barrel and chokes over a long session.

Stocking Up on the Rio Star Team EVO 12 Gauge Load

This listing comes packed 25 rounds to a box with 10 boxes to a case, putting 250 shells in your hands at once. That case format is worth considering if you shoot a weekly league or put in regular range time, since buying by the case keeps you from running back to the counter every few weeks. Rio's reputation among competitive shooters has been built over generations, and this load is a straightforward way to see why the brand keeps showing up in the hands of serious clay shooters.
