Sterling Exclsv 12Ga 2.75" #8 25/250

Sterling Exclsv 12-gauge 2.75" #8 shot shells deliver reliable performance for upland bird hunting when every shot counts. These rounds pair a 30-grain shot charge with a quick-scattering wad design engineered to open patterns fast—ideal for flushing francolin, snipe, and other game birds in mountain terrain or brush where follow-up opportunities are rare. The soft pellet construction minimizes deformation in the barrel, promoting consistent patterns downrange while keeping recoil manageable during long days afield.

The #8 shot size strikes a balance between pellet count and individual pellet energy, making it a practical choice for medium-range upland work where you need adequate coverage without excessive shot energy. Whether you're hiking steep ground or working a dog through dense cover, these rounds function reliably across a range of modern and classic 12-gauge shotguns chambered for 2.75" loads.

Each box contains 25 rounds, packaged as 250 per case for hunters and shooters who stock up for the season. Sterling ammunition prioritizes consistent ignition and dependable ballistics—the kind of no-fuss performance that lets you focus on the hunt.
