Rio Star Team EVO Training ammunition gives you quality built on decades of Rio's competition pedigree, without the premium price tag. Developed with input from Olympic shooters and Rio Pro Staff, this line delivers the consistency and performance you need for trap, skeet, and sporting clays training without breaking the bank.
These shells use proprietary component selection and special powder blends engineered to produce tight, consistent patterns shot after shot. The 1-1/8 oz payload of #8 shot travels at 1200 fps, giving you manageable recoil that won't wear you down during extended practice sessions. That combination of softer recoil and consistent velocity means your practice rounds feel closer to premium competition loads than typical budget ammunition.
Rio designed this load specifically for the shooter who wants to run high volume training without the fatigue. The moderate recoil is genuinely noticeworthy when you're shooting multiple flats at the range. At the same time, these shells perform reliably in the field with consistent ignition and clean-burning components. The blue hull and brass base are standard Rio quality that many reloaders appreciate for reload data compatibility.
The #8 shot size is sized precisely for breaking clays effectively at practical ranges. This is the standard load for competition clay shooting, so you're training with exactly what matches tournament specifications. Whether you're working on your 16-yard trap, improving your skeet, or developing distance control in sporting clays, these shells deliver the patterns needed to see your hits and misses clearly.
The Training line uses softer lead and slightly different component selection compared to Rio's premium Star Team EVO Target loads, making them a great option for high-volume practice. They deliver the same consistent performance and pattern reliability at a lower price point, making them ideal for shooters who want to maximize range time without excessive cost or recoil fatigue.
Yes, these work well for both trap and skeet practice. The #8 shot size is standard for clay shooting, the velocity and payload match what you'd see in competition loads, and the consistent patterns mean you can actually diagnose your technique rather than blaming the ammo. Many ranges stock and recommend this exact load for practice.
Rio Star Team EVO Training shells at 1200 fps should cycle fine through most modern semi-automatic shotguns, though individual gun reliability varies. If you have an older or particularly sensitive gun, run a few test rounds first. The moderate velocity is actually less stressful on cycling than hot competition loads.
Yes, the brass-base, plastic hulls are popular among reloaders. Many competition shooters reload Rio hulls multiple times, though you'll want to follow standard shotshell reloading practices and ensure your primers and components are compatible with the hull design.
