Fiocchi Golden Pheasant 12 Gauge 2.75-inch #6 shot shells (Fiocchi part no. 12GPX6) carry the current Golden Pheasant loading forward with a slightly hotter velocity than earlier production runs. Fiocchi nickel-plates the lead shot in this line, keeping pellets rounder through the barrel for tighter, more even patterns on target. The 1-3/8 ounce payload of #6 shot now leaves the muzzle at 1,485 feet per second, putting more pellets on target faster for closer-flushing upland birds like quail and grouse.

Frequently Asked Questions

What birds is #6 shot suited for? It works well on quail, grouse, and other smaller upland birds where a dense pattern matters more than long range.

Why nickel-plated shot? Nickel plating hardens the pellet surface, reducing deformation in the barrel for tighter, more consistent patterns.
