Frequently Asked Questions
What game is Sterling #4 shot best suited for?
Sterling's #4 shot is a versatile small-to-medium game load well suited for ducks, rabbits, pheasant, and other upland birds. The 34 gr. payload and quick-scattering wad produce a broad pattern that excels at moderate ranges, making it especially effective when birds flush unexpectedly or game is on the move.
Is this ammunition compatible with all 12-gauge shotguns?
Yes. The 2.75" (70mm) shell length is the most common 12-gauge chamber size and is compatible with virtually all pump-action, semi-automatic, over-under, and side-by-side 12-gauge shotguns chambered for 2.75" or longer shells. Always verify your firearm's owner's manual for approved load specifications before use.
What is the advantage of buying the 250-round case over single boxes?
Purchasing the 250-round case (10 boxes of 25) offers significant savings per shell compared to buying individual boxes, making it the smart choice for hunters heading into a full season or shooters who practice regularly. Bulk quantities also ensure you have a consistent lot of ammunition, which helps maintain uniform pattern performance from range to field.
