Clay Shooting Tips
Use Sterling 410 Bore 8 Shot only in shotguns chambered for 2-1/2 inch or longer 410 Bore shells.
Wear eye and ear protection on every station.
Check for a fired wad or obstruction in the barrel if a shell sounds or feels weak before firing again.
Clean your shotgun after a round to remove plastic and powder fouling.
Sterling 410 Bore 8 Shot is a proven choice for shooters who want a ready-made target load from a known maker.
Choosing shot size
Smaller shot such as 8 or 9 gives a dense pattern for close targets like skeet, while larger shot such as 7.5 carries better on longer trap and sporting targets.
Recoil and volume
A lighter load reduces recoil, which matters over a long day of shooting. Heavier loads help on longer targets.
Reloading hulls
If you reload, collect your hulls; many target hulls can be reloaded several times.
Reading the box
The box lists the gauge, shell length, shot charge and shot size. Always match the shell to the gauge and chamber length stamped on your firearm, and never fire ammunition that is not specified for your firearm.
About Sterling
Sterling 410 Bore 8 Shot comes from Sterling, and the specifications listed here follow the maker’s and our distributor’s published data for this item. Compare loads by shot size, shot charge and velocity to find the best fit for your firearm.
Buying the right amount
When you find a load that performs well, buy enough for practice and the full season at once. Ammunition from the same lot tends to perform the same, which keeps your results consistent.
Safety first
Always treat every firearm as loaded, keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction and keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot. Wear eye and ear protection every time you shoot.
Understanding shot size
Smaller shot numbers mean larger pellets. Larger pellets carry more energy at distance but give fewer pellets in the pattern, while smaller pellets fill the pattern but lose energy sooner. Match the shot size to the game and the distance.
Choosing the right load
Start with the job you need the ammunition to do, whether that is hunting, target shooting or practice. Then match the load to that job, and finally test a few boxes in your own firearm, because every barrel has its preferences.
