Brand: Rio Ammunition is the manufacturer of this shotgun ammunition.
Star Team 24: "Star Team 24" is likely a product line or series name for this particular type of ammunition. It may signify a specific type or quality level within Rio Ammunition's product offerings.
Gauge: This ammunition is designed for a 20-gauge shotgun. The gauge refers to the diameter of the shotgun barrel, and 20 gauge is smaller in diameter than the more common 12 gauge.
Shell Length: The shell is 2-3/4 inches long. This measurement is important because it determines the length of the shotgun shell and how much space it will occupy in the chamber of the shotgun.

The information below comes from our Gun Caliber Dictionary and is for
general reference only. It does not describe the specifications of this
particular item.
The 20-gauge follows the 12-gauge as America's second-most popular shotgun gauge. And, with modern shotshells, continues to gain ground. The 20-gauge has a bore diameter of .615-inch, with modern shells in either 2 3/4 "standard" or 3-inch "magnum" length. Most modern shotguns are chambered to handle both. Payloads vary from light-recoiling 5/8-ounce loads all the way to heavy turkey loads carrying 1 5/16 ounces of shot. Standard 2 3/4" loads for targets and upland birds are normally 7/8 or one ounce. At its very best the 20-gauge does not have the capability of a 12-gauge...but with modern shot, wad columns, and chokes it doesn't give up much, and it can be built into a much lighter shotgun developing less recoil. Virtually all manufacturers offer 20-gauge guns, and they are available in all action types and for virtually all shotgunning sports. The 20-gauge joins the 12, 28, and .410 as one of four events in skeet competition, and is becoming increasingly popular for sporting clays.
