Remington Nitro Pheasant 12 Gauge 2.75-inch #6 shot shells (Remington part no. 28624) are built specifically for hunters who need harder-hitting patterns on tough, late-season birds. Remington loads Nitro Pheasant with Copper-Lokt copper-plated lead shot, using a high antimony content for the hardest lead shot the company makes. Harder shot stays rounder through the barrel, producing truer flight, tighter patterns, and deeper penetration downrange. This is a dedicated upland load for hunters who want maximum pattern density and lethal energy on pheasant and similarly tough game birds.
