Frequently Asked Questions
What birds and game are Sterling #7 shot shells best suited for?
Sterling's #7 shot is ideal for small, fast-flushing upland birds such as francolins, snipe, quail, and dove. The fine pellet size produces dense, quick-spreading patterns at close-to-mid range, maximizing your chances of a clean harvest on birds that flush suddenly or at shorter distances.
Are these shells compatible with all 12 gauge shotguns?
Yes. The 2.75" (70mm) shell length is the most universally compatible 12 gauge length and will cycle reliably in 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 chamber specification before use.
Can these shells be used for skeet or sporting clays practice?
Absolutely. The #7 shot size, low-recoil load, and consistent pattern spread make Sterling Exclusive shells a popular and cost-effective option for skeet, sporting clays, and general practice shooting. Purchasing by the 250-round case reduces per-shell cost, making high-volume practice sessions much more affordable.
