Product Overview
Rio Star Team Target Low Recoil is a 1 1/8 oz, 2 3/4-inch 12-gauge target load made for trap, skeet and sporting clays. Its lead #7.5 leaves at 1,150 fps, which sits at the floor of the standard trap band. The name describes the speed and not the shot charge, which is a full 1 1/8 oz.
The payload is about 394 pellets of #7.5. Free recoil is about 21 ft-lbs in a 7.5 lb gun. A charge this slow is the kind some gas semi-autos short-stroke, and Rio makes no cycling claim either way.
If you're cross-shopping, Winchester Super Target Light Load and Remington Gun Club Target Load both run 1 1/8 oz of #7.5 at 1,145 fps, with the same pellet count and recoil within a quarter of a ft-lb. The Gun Club hull is one Remington sells as reloadable.
- Inside the ATA 16-yard rules at 1 1/8 oz, with 140 fps of headroom under the velocity cap for that payload
- About 2 ft-lbs softer in a 7.5 lb gun than the 1,200 fps target loads compared, out of the same weight of shot
- A 10 mm brass-plated head, the one construction figure Rio gives for it
- Low Recoil has no standard definition behind it, and two of the loads compared are 5 fps slower still at the same payload
- Lead shot, so a range that requires nontoxic shot rules it out
