The Sterling Exclusive Series 28 Gauge 2.75-Inch #8 Shot (brand part no. 8698779969127) brings sub-gauge shooters a dedicated field load without the recoil of a 12 or 20 gauge shell. Sterling loads 3/4 ounce of #8 shot into each 2.75-inch hull, seated over a Type 209 primer and single-base powder for consistent ignition shot after shot. The Exclusive Series is built for hunters and target shooters who run a light 28 gauge gun and still want a dependable, repeatable load. Part of Sterling’s shotgun shells lineup, each box holds 25 rounds for a day of dove hunting or clays.
