Has anyone ignited or patterned any of this Turkish ammo under the moniker Sterling? I have some #5s enroute with 1 3/16 oz?

I hope their shells are more consistent than their triggers.

Poor comparison. You can adjust trigger pulls. Not so much shotshells.

I guess we can assume your answer to Raimey's question is "No".

Thanks for the responses & for the most part I am aligned. But in the coming weeks I will update this thread with a preliminary report. I am just curious if they are indeed loaded in Turkey or if they sub it out to a concern either in Italy or Spain. Too, I assume that 1 3/16 oz equates to 34 grammes?

Interesting their choice of terms / words: >>Exclusive<< & >>Elegant<< for categories?

I think I am to receive the above?

Regarding 12 bore, it appears the >>Elegant<< category hovers around 500 BAR published whilst the >>Exclusive<< runs from 575 - 650 BAR for the 34 & 36 grammes.

If you could find a view of the rear panel of a box you might be able to determine where they're loaded. Usually states that somewhere on the box. Wouldn't surprise me at all to find they're loaded in Turkey.

And yes, 34 grams is pretty close to 1 3/16 oz .........

Good luck, SRH

What might those BAR numbers convert to in PSI?

Based on a quick google search they are loaded by Turac in Turkey and are CIP approved, which pretty much ensures safety. Performance - ??

No experience with them but Interesting selection for specific species of modern pests included in the Tactical Series shot shell line.
They should expand that selection to include Non-Toxic versions

from the 12g Semi Magnum thru 12g Semi Magnum shells.
