Fiocchi Golden Pheasant 12 Gauge 2.75-inch #6 shot shells (Fiocchi part no. 12GP6) load a higher pellet count for hunters who want dense patterns on closer-flushing upland birds. 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 leaves the muzzle at 1,250 feet per second, putting more pellets in the air for quail, grouse, and other smaller upland game.

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.

How many boxes come in a case? Golden Pheasant ships 10 boxes of 25 shells to a case, useful for stocking up before the season.
