Remington Express XLR 28 Gauge 2.75-Inch 3/4 oz #7.5 Shot Shotshells, 25-Round Box

Remington Express XLR 28 Gauge shotshells (brand part no. 28049) bring the tight-patterning performance the Express line is known for down to the sub-gauge class, giving upland hunters a lighter-carrying option without sacrificing pattern quality. Remington loads this 2.75-inch shell with 3/4 ounce of #7.5 lead shot, a combination the Express XLR line has built its reputation on for pheasant, quail, rabbit, and squirrel hunting. Decades of Express-line engineering go into balancing pattern density with a clean-shooting recoil impulse, which is why the line remains a trusted upland standard. For 28 gauge shooters who want a shell that patterns as tight as their bigger-bore loads, Express XLR delivers exactly that.
