Sterling Elegance Series 12ga 2 3/4 1300FPS 3/4OZ #9

The Sterling Elegance Series Quail Load 12 Gauge 2-3/4" 3/4 oz #9 Shot is a lightweight, low-recoil lead shotshell from Sterling's Elegance Series, tailored for small upland game and target shooting. This economical Turkish-made load excels for quail, dove, skeet, light sporting clays, or any scenario where high pellet count and gentle recoil are priorities—perfect for extended shooting sessions, young hunters, or anyone preferring softer-kicking ammo without sacrificing pattern performance.

Loaded with 3/4 oz (21 grams) of high-quality #9 lead shot (approximately 580–600 pellets, depending on exact count) at 1295–1310 fps (commonly listed around 1300 fps), #9 shot delivers extremely dense, uniform patterns ideal for small, fast targets at close to moderate ranges. The shells feature carefully selected chilled lead shot for pattern consistency, quality wads for shot control, clean-burning single-base powder, reliable non-corrosive primers (Tip 209), and a standard 2-3/4" hull that fits virtually all 12-gauge shotguns (no magnum chamber required). Low pressure (around 6890–7615 psi) ensures smooth cycling and minimal felt recoil.
