Fiocchi Golden Pheasant 12 Gauge 2.75-inch #4 shot shells (Fiocchi part no. 12GP4) are a dedicated upland load built around nickel-plated lead shot for harder-hitting patterns on tough birds. Fiocchi nickel-plates the shot in the Golden Pheasant line to reduce deformation as pellets travel down the barrel, keeping patterns tighter and more consistent. The 1-3/8 ounce payload of #4 shot leaves the muzzle at 1,250 feet per second, giving upland hunters the pattern density and range needed for pheasant, grouse, and other hard-flushing birds.
