Deep Dive
Overview
This 20 gauge ammo is intended for clay target shooting, including skeet, sporting clays, and close-range trap. The 7/8 oz payload is a standard configuration in 20 gauge target loads, offering reduced recoil while maintaining effective shot patterns.

History and Development
Rio has a long-standing history in ammunition manufacturing, with origins tied to the Sociedad Española de la Dinamita (SED), founded in 1872 in Spain. Over time, the company developed into a producer of cartridges for hunting and sport shooting applications.

The Top Target line was developed to provide consistent performance for clay shooting disciplines, drawing on input from experienced shooters. This reflects Rio’s focus on application-specific design and dependable results across training and competition use.
