Why Choose Sterling Competition Series Trap Hardshot?
Sterling’s Competition Series Trap Hardshot is designed to meet the demanding needs of competitive clay target shooters. The use of hardened shot (often referred to as “Hardshot”) ensures the pellets maintain their shape better upon firing, resulting in denser patterns and more consistent breaks at the distances typical in trap shooting. The 7/8 ounce payload of #7.5 shot provides an excellent balance between pattern density and manageable recoil, allowing shooters to maintain accuracy through long strings of fire. This load is particularly popular among trap shooters who prefer a lighter-recoiling option without sacrificing performance on the target. The high-quality components and consistent manufacturing standards make Sterling Competition Series ammunition a trusted choice for both recreational and competitive shooters.

Performance and Build Quality
The STERLING COMPETITION SERIES TRAP HARDSHOT 12GA #7.5 7/8 OZ is manufactured using premium components to deliver reliable performance in competitive environments. The hardened shot resists deformation, which helps produce more uniform patterns and better energy transfer to clay targets. This results in cleaner breaks and fewer “dusters,” giving shooters a competitive edge. The powder charge is carefully selected to provide consistent velocities while keeping recoil mild enough for extended shooting sessions. Whether you’re competing in registered trap shoots or practicing at your local club, this ammunition offers the consistency and quality needed to perform at your best. Sterling’s attention to detail in loading and quality control ensures each shell performs to the same high standard.
