Sterling Exclusive 12-gauge 2.75-inch #5 shot shells deliver reliable performance for upland game hunting where quick, decisive shots matter. Built with a soft-pellet design and engineered for reduced felt recoil, these rounds are purpose-built for hunters who spend long days working birds in the field—whether you're targeting quail, francolin, snipe, or similar upland species where a second shot opportunity doesn't always come around. Each box contains 25 rounds, packaged in sets of 250, so you can stock up for the season ahead.
The #5 shot size sits in the sweet spot for most upland wingshooting: large enough for reliable energy delivery on small- to medium-sized game birds, but small enough for the tight, uniform patterns that give you a genuine chance when birds flush at distance. The quick-scattering wad design promotes consistent shot dispersion, helping you make the most of those critical moments when a covey breaks and you have one good opportunity.
Soft shot construction means less pellet deformation as they travel downrange, which translates to more consistent patterns and reduced recoil—a real advantage when you're hiking steep terrain or shooting multiple birds throughout the day. Sterling ammunition is engineered for reliable ignition and clean performance across a wide range of shotguns, making these rounds a dependable choice for hunters who demand consistency.

| Shell Length | 2.75" |
| Shot Size | #5 |
| Rounds per Box | 25 |
| Case Quantity | 250 |
| Shot Type | Soft pellet |
Sterling #5 shot shells are well-suited for hunting francolin, snipe, quail, and other small- to medium-sized upland game birds where consistent, tight patterns matter and shot placement is critical.
These are standard 2.75-inch 12-gauge shells. They'll function in any 12-gauge shotgun chambered for 2.75-inch ammunition. If your shotgun handles 3-inch or 3.5-inch shells, it will also accept 2.75-inch rounds, but always verify your shotgun's chamber length in the manual or on the barrel marking.
Soft pellets resist deformation as they travel downrange, which helps maintain pattern consistency and energy delivery on target. The reduced recoil is also beneficial during long days in the field, especially when hiking rough terrain.
Sterling Exclusive #5 shot shells come in 25-round boxes, and this product is sold in 250-round cases (ten boxes), making it easy to stock up for the season.
