Description

The Sterling Exclusive Series 12 gauge 2.75 inch shells with #9 shot pack 1 1/6 ounces of lead per round, making them a solid choice for hunters and target shooters focused on smaller upland game. These loads generate plenty of pellets in each shot pattern while maintaining the reliability you need in the field.

What Sets Sterling Exclusive #9 Shot Apart

The #9 shot size gives you a denser pattern with more pellets downrange compared to larger shot sizes. This makes them popular with folks hunting quail, woodcock, and other small upland birds where you want to capitalize on pattern density at moderate ranges. The same advantages apply to clay target shooting, where the pattern matters more than individual pellet weight.

Built for Consistent Field Performance

Each shell features a Type 209 primer and single base powder loaded to Sterling's exacting specifications. You get reliable ignition and consistent velocities round after round. The standardized 2.75 inch case length means these shells will chamber smoothly in any 12 gauge shotgun built for standard length shells, whether it's an over and under, pump, or semi-auto.

Practical Packaging for Extended Use

The 25-round box format strikes the right balance between portability and quantity. Carry a box or two in your vest without the weight of a full case, yet get through a solid hunting or practice session without running short. The shells come packaged consistently so you can count on what you're getting every time you stock up.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of game is #9 shot best for?

#9 shot works well for upland birds like quail, woodcock, and other small game where pattern density matters more than penetration. It's also popular for clay target shooting because you get more pellets in your pattern at closer to moderate ranges. With proper shot placement, you can be effective on these smaller targets.

Will these shells work in all 12 gauge shotguns?

These 2.75 inch shells will work in any 12 gauge shotgun chambered for standard length shells. That covers the vast majority of 12 gauge firearms out there, whether it's a pump, semi-auto, or break-action gun. Just make sure your shotgun isn't specifically marked for 3 inch shells only.

How does the 1 1/6 oz shot load compare to other #9 shells?

The 1 1/6 ounce payload is a standard load for #9 shot in 12 gauge 2.75 inch shells. It gives you enough pellets to build a good pattern without excessive recoil, making it suitable for extended hunting or target sessions without wearing you out.

Are Sterling shells reliable for consistent use?

Sterling ammunition is manufactured with Type 209 primers and single base powder engineered for dependable performance. Users regularly report good feeding and reliable ignition across a range of shotgun types. Like any ammunition, consistent results depend on proper firearm maintenance and function.
