The Remington Nitro Pheasant 12 Gauge 2.75-Inch 1-3/8oz #6 Shot (brand part no. 28636) uses Remington’s Copper-Lokt copper-plated lead shot, loaded with a high antimony content that makes it the hardest lead shot Remington produces for hunting. Remington hardens the shot specifically so pellets stay rounder through the barrel, flying truer and holding tighter patterns while penetrating deeper on tough, heavily feathered birds. Nitro Pheasant is built to deliver the maximum pattern density and lethal energy it takes to bring down a bird that doesn’t go down easy. In shotgun shells for pheasant hunting, this is Remington’s dedicated hard-shot pheasant load.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Copper-Lokt shot do differently from standard lead shot? Its high antimony content makes it harder than standard lead, so pellets stay rounder through the barrel and hold tighter patterns with deeper penetration on tough birds.

Why does pattern density matter for pheasant hunting? A tough, heavily feathered rooster needs enough pellets striking with enough energy to bring it down cleanly, which is exactly what Nitro Pheasant’s hard shot is built to deliver.

How many rounds come in a box? Each box holds 25 rounds of 12 Gauge, with 10 boxes to a case.
