Fiocchi Golden Pheasant 20 Gauge shotgun shells (brand part no. 203GP6) load a 3-inch hull with 1 1/4 ounces of nickel-plated #6 lead shot, built for upland hunters who want magnum-class performance from a lighter-carrying gauge. Fiocchi built the Golden Pheasant line specifically for pheasant and upland bird hunting, pairing a heavier-than-typical payload with hardened shot that holds its pattern at extended range. Nickel plating keeps the lead pellets round through setback and barrel travel, so patterns stay dense instead of stringing out from deformed shot. For hunters who carry a 20 gauge afield but refuse to give up knockdown power, this is the load built for late-season roosters.

Key Specifications

• The gauge is 20 gauge, pairing with lighter-carrying upland guns for long days afield.
• The shell length is 3 inches, packing a magnum-class payload into the sub-gauge hull.
• The payload weighs 1 1/4 ounces, well above a standard 20 gauge load for added pellet count.
• The shot size is #6, balancing pellet energy and pattern density for pheasant-sized birds.
• The shot is nickel-plated lead, resisting deformation as it travels down the barrel.
• That reduced deformation produces denser, more consistent patterns at extended range.
• Each round costs about $1.16, a fair price for a premium upland payload.
• Each box holds 25 rounds, enough to cover a full weekend of hunting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the shot nickel-plated? Nickel plating keeps the lead pellets from deforming in the barrel, which keeps patterns dense and consistent downrange.

Is a 3-inch 20 gauge load considered magnum-class? Yes, the 1 1/4-ounce payload is heavier than a standard 20 gauge load, giving it shot counts closer to a larger gauge.

How many shells come in a box? Each box holds 25 rounds of Golden Pheasant shotshells.
