Rio Ammunition Star Team Evo ST288 12 Gauge 2.75" 1oz Shotgun Shells - 25 Rounds

Rio Ammunition Star Team Evo ST288 12 gauge 2.75" shotgun shells deliver consistent performance for clay shooting, hunting, and sport shooting applications. This 25-round box loads 1 ounce of shot at #8 pellet size—a proven load for upland game, trap, and skeet where pattern density matters. Rio's reputation for reliable ignition and consistent velocity makes these shells a solid choice for shooters who want dependable performance without breaking the bank.

Built for volume shooting—whether you're running a tournament, working dogs in the field, or spending an afternoon at the range—the Star Team Evo series gives you the repeatability serious shooters expect. The 2.75" hull is the standard platform for most semi-automatic and pump 12-gauge shotguns, and the moderate 1 ounce payload keeps recoil manageable over extended sessions. Number 8 shot is ideal for targets and lighter upland birds where precision and pattern are the priority.

Rio has been loading ammunition in Spain since 1927, and that longevity shows in straightforward, no-nonsense design. These shells don't try to be something they aren't—they're simply honest ammunition that cycles reliably and shoots where you point. If you're stocking up for regular range work or a hunting season, buying by the case (10 boxes of 25) makes practical and economic sense.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shells work in my 12-gauge shotgun?

Yes—the 2.75" shell length is the standard for modern 12-gauge shotguns, both semi-auto and pump actions. Check your shotgun's chamber markings to confirm it accepts 2.75" loads; some older or specialty guns may differ.

What's the #8 shot good for?

Number 8 pellets are the go-to choice for trap and skeet shooting, and they work well on upland game like quail and dove where pattern density is more important than penetration. For larger game or duck hunting, you'd typically choose a larger, heavier shot size.

How many rounds are in a case?

Each box contains 25 rounds. Rio sells cases in 10-box increments, giving you 250 rounds per case—a practical unit for range shooters and hunters who shoot regularly.
