Is sterling ammo corrosive?
Sterling ammunition uses non-corrosive primers, so it won't corrode your firearm. Standard cleaning practices after shooting are still recommended, but you don't need the immediate thorough cleaning required after firing corrosive surplus ammunition.

Are sterling tornado slugs rifled?
Sterling Tornado slugs are rifled on the slug itself, not the barrel. The exterior grooves allow compatibility with smoothbore shotguns and let the slug squeeze through a choke tube, but do not meaningfully improve in-flight stability. They are designed for hunting applications such as deer and boar.

What is the effective range of 12 gauge 00 buckshot?
Most shooters consider 12 gauge 00 buckshot effective to 40-50 yards for reliable hits on target. Beyond that distance, pellet spread becomes unpredictable. Some sources cite 25 yards as a conservative benchmark. Actual range depends on choke, barrel length, and ammunition brand.

What ammo to use for deer hunting with 12 gauge?
For deer hunting with a 12 gauge, use rifled slugs for shots beyond 50 yards, as they offer better accuracy and penetration. For closer shots under 50 yards, 00 buckshot is effective. Always check local regulations, as some states restrict buckshot for deer hunting.
