Rio Ammunition Stt24Lt8 Star Team Training 24 Light 12Gauge 2.75" 7/8Oz 8Shot 25 Bx/10 Case

Rio Ammunition's Star Team Training 24 Light shotshell is purpose-built for shooters who log serious range time without breaking the bank. Whether you're training for a competitive event, honing your timing at the clay course, or simply running volume through your 12-gauge, this 2.75-inch load delivers consistent performance at a fraction of the cost of premium hunting rounds. The 7/8 oz payload with 8 shot keeps patterns tight enough for practice while the lighter recoil means you can shoot longer and stay sharper.

Training ammunition doesn't need to be fancy—it needs to be reliable, affordable, and run clean. Rio's Star Team line checks all three boxes. You get 25 rounds per box, packaged in a convenient 10-box case, so you can stock up for a season of consistent practice without restocking every trip to the range.

These are lead loads, so they're not suitable for waterfowl or steel-shot-only ranges, but for skeet, trap, sporting clays, or general shotgun training at traditional ranges, they're a smart choice. Pair them with your favorite 12-gauge and dial in your technique without the guilt of burning through premium ammunition on the practice line.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between Star Team Training and full-power hunting loads?

Star Team Training rounds are designed specifically for practice and high-volume shooting. The lighter 7/8 oz charge keeps recoil manageable for extended sessions, and the economics work out better for shooters burning dozens of rounds per range visit. They're not loaded for hunting performance or long-range shot capability.

Can I use these for waterfowl or steel-shot-only areas?

No. These are lead shot loads and are not appropriate for waterfowl hunting or any range or refuge that requires or restricts to steel shot. Always confirm local regulations and range rules before shooting.

Will these shells work in my 12-gauge shotgun?

Yes, as long as your 12-gauge is rated for 2.75-inch shells. Most modern and older 12-gauges handle standard 2.75-inch loads. If your shotgun is chambered for 3-inch shells only, you should confirm it accepts 2.75-inch ammunition—many do, but always verify your gun's markings.

What's included in the 10-box case?

The case contains 10 boxes of 25 rounds each, for a total of 250 rounds per case.
