Rio Star Team Evo 24 12Ga 2.75 24G #9 25/10

Rio Star Team Evo 24 12-gauge shotgun ammunition is engineered for competitive clay shooting and high-volume range sessions where reliability and consistency matter. These 2.75-inch shells deliver #9 shot in a 24-gram (just under 7/8 oz) payload—the kind of load that's become standard for trap, skeet, and sporting clays courses across North America. Rio's Team Evo line has built a reputation for uniform velocity and tight patterns, qualities that show up in your scores when you're breaking birds at distance.

Whether you're stocking up for league nights or tuning your gun before a competition, the 25-round box format keeps you organized and makes counting shells on the bench straightforward. #9 shot is the go-to for clay target games where you need pellet density to reach farther targets without excessive recoil—a sweet spot between pattern quality and shooter comfort over a long day of shooting.

Rio ammunition is loaded domestically and has earned trust among competitive shooters and serious clay enthusiasts. The Team Evo series specifically targets the clay market, so you get powder and primer combinations optimized for the kind of shooting you're doing, not generic all-purpose loads. If you run a lot of rounds downrange or compete regularly, having ammunition designed with your discipline in mind makes a measurable difference.
