Sterling Shotgun ammo is ammo that we started to carry almost a year ago right when the pandemic hit. They are a Turkish manufacturer with a ton of great offerings. We got in several pallets of their most popular 00 Buck. The ammo came In at a great price and was readily available. Until about a month later when everything changed. Haha!
Now that things are slowly getting better in the ammo world as far as pricing and availability are concerned. We have started to get in more kinds of ammunition from Sterling. We just most recently got in a bunch of rifled slugs from them and a restock on some of the 00 Buck.
The slugs are cool because they are rifled and have a couple different uses. The first kind is the “Tornado” Slugs. They are designed to be a competition load. They are crazy consistent and reliable and can hit their mark over and over again in any competition setting.
The second kind of slugs that came in are also rifled. They are designed more for a hunting application. They feature the same 2 3/4 Hull as the Tornado rounds, but this time have a 32grn slug to launch out. These have a higher velocity and ballistic structure. They leave the barrel at a higher pressure and are better at taking down game. They are just as accurate and reliable as the Tornado rounds, but with the better ability to stop a wild animal in its tracks.
As a heads up to you guys who read the blog, we also have some other cool ammo coming in from Sterling. We have some 9mm coming that is going to get tested like crazy by us before we start selling it. Generally when new manufacturers start making ammo we like to make sure it works well and that we aren’t going to have a bunch of unhappy customers all around the country because the ammo ended up not working. So we are excited for that to arrive and hopefully start offering some ammo at cheaper prices!
