The Sterling Exclusive Series brings solid field performance to 12 gauge hunting without asking you to spend premium prices. These loads run 1 3/16 ounces of lead #4 shot at 1295 fps through a 2.75-inch case, giving you the density you need for upland birds like pheasant while staying manageable on your shoulder.
What sets these Sterling shells apart is the Power Piston wad system specifically engineered for this load. It seals air and powder toward the back of the case, which helps maintain consistent performance shot to shot. The shells also feature a star-shaped crimp closure that keeps them watertight, so dropping one in the water during a duck hunt won't ruin your day.
#4 shot strikes the right balance for several different hunting situations. It's effective on tougher upland game like pheasant and works on ducks at moderate distances. The heavier pellet count compared to smaller shot sizes holds onto its energy downrange, which means you get better performance on longer shots, especially if you're using a tighter choke. For general field work, this load handles small game and birds with enough oomph to get the job done.
These aren't fancy shells, and they don't need to be. Sterling uses quality components throughout their ammunition line, focusing on consistency and reliability. Whether you're running through clay targets to practice before hunting season or heading out for a day in the field, these 25-round boxes make it easy to stock your vest or ammo bag.
#4 shot works well for upland birds like pheasant, as well as ducks at moderate range. It's also effective on small game and rabbits. The heavier pellets hold energy better at distance compared to smaller shot sizes, making this load a good choice when you need a balance between pellet count and impact energy across medium to longer shooting ranges.
Sterling developed the Power Piston wad specifically for their Exclusive Series to seal air and gunpowder at the back of the case. This design helps deliver consistent shot patterns and reliable performance round after round. Combined with the star-shaped crimp closure, it also provides a watertight seal that protects the load from moisture and humidity.
Sterling shells use a plastic hull with a steel base, which can make reloading more difficult compared to all-brass bases. If you plan to reload, consider that these cases may not be as ideal for reloading purposes as some premium brands. Many shooters simply use them once and move on.
Yes. The star-shaped crimp tip on Sterling shells is designed to be watertight, which means they can handle being dropped in water during waterfowl hunting or use near the shoreline. The Power Piston wad also helps protect the load from moisture and humidity, making these shells reliable in damp field conditions.
