Frequently Asked Questions
What game is Sterling #4 shot best suited for?
Sterling Exclusive #4 shot is ideally suited for medium-sized game such as ducks, pheasant, grouse, and rabbit. The #4 pellet size strikes a solid balance between pellet count and individual pellet energy, making it effective at the moderate ranges most commonly encountered while upland hunting or working along waterfowl habitat.
Will these shells cycle reliably in semi-automatic shotguns?
Yes. Sterling Exclusive 12 gauge shells are manufactured to standard 2.75" SAAMI-compatible specifications and are designed to cycle reliably in pump-action and semi-automatic shotguns chambered for 2.75" or 3" shells. The maximum ignition primer helps ensure consistent performance across a wide range of action types and ambient temperatures.
Is the 250-round case a better value than buying individual boxes?
For hunters who shoot frequently or want to stock up for the season, purchasing the 250-round case (10 boxes of 25) typically offers a better per-round value than buying individual boxes. It's also a convenient way to ensure you have a consistent lot of ammunition for patterning your shotgun and hunting through the season without switching between different production runs.
