Rio Ammunition STT28LT8 Star Team Training Training 12 Gauge 2.75" 1 oz 8 Shot 25 Per Box/ 10 Cs
$10.62
Rio Ammunition's STT28LT8 Star Team Training 12 gauge shotshell is built for shooters who log hours at the clay range without punishing their shoulder or wallet. This is a light-recoil trap and skeet load that delivers 1 ounce of No. 8 shot in a standard 2.75" shell, giving you the target-breaking performance you need with noticeably softer recoil than full-power loads. Whether you're breaking targets three days a week or working through a box at your local club, Rio's formula of clean-burning powder, matched primer, and optimized wad design keeps your gun running smooth and your scores competitive.
The 1 oz payload in No. 8 shot is the classic choice for trap and skeet—tight enough patterns for distance shooting, light enough that you won't dread the next round. Rio backs this ammunition with over a century of manufacturing experience, and it shows in consistent ignition and velocity. If you're tired of flinching or your forearm is sore by the end of the day, stepping down to a light-recoil load doesn't mean sacrificing reliability or pattern quality.
Sold in boxes of 25 rounds with 10 boxes per case, the Star Team Training line gives serious competitors and weekend shooters alike the volume they need to practice without the premium price tag. This is working ammunition for people who shoot frequently and expect their shells to perform the same way every single time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this 12 gauge light-recoil load good for trap and skeet?
Yes. The 1 ounce payload of No. 8 shot is the standard target load for trap and skeet competition, and Rio's light-recoil formula reduces felt recoil without sacrificing pattern or velocity. It's ideal for high-volume range days.
What's the difference between this light-load and full-power Rio Target loads?
The main difference is recoil. This Star Team Training load delivers softer recoil while maintaining the same 1 oz shot charge and No. 8 shot size that make standard trap loads effective. It's designed for shooters who want to practice longer with less fatigue.
What comes in each case?
Each case contains 10 boxes of 25 rounds, giving you 250 shells per case.
Will this work in my semi-auto shotgun?
Rio's light-recoil loads are designed to function reliably in standard 12 gauge shotguns, but always consult your firearm's manual to confirm compatibility with reduced-recoil ammunition. Some semi-auto shotguns have specific recommendations for lighter loads.
