Fiocchi Golden Pheasant 12 Gauge 2.75-inch #4 shot shells (Fiocchi part no. 12GPX4) 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 #4 shot now leaves the muzzle at 1,485 feet per second, giving hunters extra reach and pattern energy on pheasant and other larger upland birds.
