The Sterling Exclusive Series delivers straightforward, field-ready performance for hunters who know what they want from their ammunition. These 2.75-inch shells come loaded with a 1 1/8 oz charge of #5 shot, a proven size for small to medium game in real hunting situations.
#5 shot sits in a sweet spot for versatility across common hunting applications. Dense enough to deliver effective patterns on waterfowl at typical distances, yet controlled enough for rabbit and small upland game without excessive meat damage. The pellet size lets you maintain enough shot count per load to build consistent patterns while still hitting hard enough when it counts.
These shells come from Sterling, a Turkish manufacturer known for precision ammunition work. The Exclusive Series specifically targets hunters and field users rather than competition shooters. Sterling engineered these loads with specially formulated powder and quality components built to handle variable field conditions. The distinctive star-shaped case tip creates a water-tight seal, so dropping a shell in water during a duck hunt or near the shore won't compromise reliability.
Each round delivers 1 1/8 oz of #5 pellets at a velocity of approximately 1295 feet per second. That velocity and payload combination gives you the range extension you need for longer shots while keeping recoil manageable for extended hunting days. The 25-round box fits easily into a hunting pack or gear bag, making these practical for day trips or extended field sessions where you want to bring enough ammunition without overstocking.
Yes. The #5 shot size works well for both applications. For duck, the pellet density and velocity deliver reliable patterns at typical hunting ranges. For rabbit, #5 offers enough power without excessive meat damage. Your shooting distance and specific game size will determine how effectively these shells perform in your situation.
The 1 1/8 oz load is a standard field weight for 2.75-inch shells, giving you a balanced payload that doesn't sacrifice pellet count while keeping recoil manageable. This weight sits between lighter target loads and heavier magnum loads, making it practical for extended hunting sessions where you might fire multiple shots throughout the day.
Sterling Exclusive Series shells are designed for standard 12 gauge shotguns and should function reliably in most modern and classic guns. If you have an older gun with specific chamber requirements, verify your shotgun accepts standard 2.75-inch shells. Test cycling a few rounds to check compatibility before heading to the field.
Sterling ammunition is manufactured in Turkey by Turac and known for quality components and precision manufacturing. These shells feature water-tight sealing, specialized powder formulation, and careful attention to pellet consistency. While Sterling isn't as widely recognized in the US as some domestic brands, field users report reliable performance and good value.
