Remington Nitro Pheasant 20 Gauge 2.75-Inch #5 Shot, 25-Round Box

The Remington Nitro Pheasant load in 20 gauge (brand part no. 28646) packs a full 1-ounce payload of #5 copper-plated shot into a 2.75-inch hull for upland hunters who want a light gun to still hit hard. Remington builds the pellets with its Copper-Lokt plating and high antimony content, the hardest lead the company loads for hunting, so pellets stay round through the barrel and pattern tighter downrange. That roundness translates directly into deeper penetration and denser patterns on tough, heavily-feathered birds like rooster pheasant. In shotgun shells built for upland work, Nitro Pheasant earns its name on birds that shrug off softer loads.

Key Specifications

• The gauge is 20 Gauge, giving upland hunters a lighter-carrying gun without giving up hitting power.
• The shell length is 2.75 inches, sized to cycle through standard 20-gauge chambers and actions.
• The payload weighs 1 ounce, a full-size charge that keeps pattern density high for a sub-gauge shell.
• The shot size is #5, sized for the range and penetration tough upland birds require.
• The shot is copper-plated with high antimony content, Remington’s hardest hunting lead, so pellets stay round instead of deforming in the barrel.
• Rounder pellets fly a truer, tighter pattern, driving the penetration needed to bring down a hard-flushing rooster.
• Each box holds 25 rounds, enough shells to cover a full day chasing birds.
