Product Overview
Rio Star Team Target Low Recoil is a 1 1/8 oz, 2 3/4-inch 12-gauge target load Rio builds for trap, skeet and sporting clays practice. At 1,150 fps with lead #8 it sits where the standard trap loads start.
That much #8 works out to about 461 pellets. Free recoil is about 21 ft-lbs in a 7.5 lb gun, about 2 ft-lbs under the Winchester Super Target Heavy Load at 1,200 fps with the same payload and shot size.
If you're cross-shopping, Federal's Top Gun Target Load carries the same 1 1/8 oz of #8 at 1,145 fps under an eight-segment crimp, and sells on plain, pink and flag hulls at those same figures. Winchester Super Target Light Load sits there too, behind a hinged wad Winchester says cushions the ignition impulse.
- Inside the ATA 16-yard rules, and inside NSCA's as well, which cap the payload at 1 1/8 oz and the shot between #7.5 and #9
- A full 1 1/8 oz payload, so the softer push takes nothing out of the shot charge
- A 10 mm brass-plated head, the one construction figure Rio gives for it
- A 1 1/8 oz charge at this speed is the sort some gas semi-autos short-stroke, and Rio makes no cycling claim either way
- At 1,150 fps it is faster than four of the five loads compared, so the low-recoil label does not put it at the bottom of the group
- Lead shot, so a range or state land that requires nontoxic shot rules it out
