Sterling Exclsv 12Ga 2.75" #4 25/250

Sterling Exclusive 12-gauge 2.75" #4 shot shells deliver reliable performance for upland bird hunting and small game. This 25-round box (250 rounds per case) is built around a quick-scattering wad design that promotes effective pellet spread, making it a practical choice for hunters working fields where fast, clean shots matter. The soft-pellet construction helps manage recoil while maintaining the energy needed for consistent takedowns on game like quail, pheasant, and rabbits in mountainous or brushy terrain.

Every round is loaded to maximize ignition reliability—crucial when your opportunity is a fleeting bevy crossing an open hillside. The combination of reduced recoil and soft shot design makes these shells manageable for extended hunting days without punishing your shoulder, yet they pack the payload you need for effective downrange performance at typical upland ranges.

Whether you're a dedicated bird hunter who logs serious mileage in search of coveys or a general upland enthusiast who takes a shotgun along for opportunistic hunting, Sterling Exclusive ammunition offers dependable, no-nonsense performance at a practical price point. Buy by the case and keep your magazine fed all season.

Frequently Asked Questions

What game is #4 shot best suited for?

#4 shot works well on upland birds like quail, pheasant, and grouse, as well as rabbits and other small game. The pellet size balances adequate downrange energy with a useful number of pellets per payload.

Will these shells fit my shotgun?

These are standard 12-gauge 2.75" shells, the most common loading for modern 12-gauge shotguns. Verify your shotgun's chamber length (stamped on the barrel) before purchase—do not shoot 2.75" shells in a shotgun marked for longer shells only.

What does the quick-scattering wad do?

The wad separates from the shot column shortly after leaving the barrel, allowing the pellets to spread more quickly and evenly. This promotes a denser, more predictable pattern at typical upland hunting ranges.

How much recoil should I expect?

Sterling Exclusive #4 shells are loaded with soft pellets and optimized for reduced recoil compared to standard or heavy loads, making them more comfortable for extended hunting sessions without sacrificing the reliability needed for clean kills.
