Sterling Exclsv 12Ga 2.75" #5 25/250
Sterling Exclusive 12-gauge 2.75" #5 shot shells deliver a reliable, budget-friendly round for upland hunting and bird shooting where you need quick-scattering patterns and low recoil. With a soft-pellet design, these shells are built to cycle smoothly through your shotgun while keeping your shoulder from absorbing punishment during a long day in the field. Whether you're working through brush for rabbits or jump-shooting ducks over water, this ammunition gives you the dependable ignition and consistent spread you need when a second chance doesn't come around.
Each box contains 25 rounds of field-proven performance. The quick-scattering wad design opens patterns faster than traditional wadding, giving you more coverage at intermediate ranges—ideal for the kind of snap shooting that upland and waterfowl hunting demands. Soft shot helps minimize barrel strain and pellet deformation, translating to denser, more reliable patterns downrange.
Sterling ammunition has earned respect among hunters who won't compromise on reliability but don't need to pay premium prices for solid performance. These 12-gauge shells fit standard 2.75" chambers and are ready to load and shoot straight out of the box.
