The Fiocchi 12GP6 Golden Pheasant Extrema delivers consistent upland game performance with premium Italian engineering and precision-loaded shot patterns. This specialized 12-gauge ammunition combines high-velocity ballistics with dense pattern density for extended effective range on pheasants, grouse, and similar upland species.
What Makes This Different
Fiocchi's Golden Pheasant Extrema line utilizes proprietary powder formulations and premium shot metallurgy to achieve superior pattern consistency compared to standard field loads. The 1 3/8-ounce shot charge generates approximately 1,300 fps muzzle velocity while maintaining tight pattern density at extended ranges. Advanced hull construction and precision crimping ensure reliable extraction and consistent ignition across temperature extremes.
Key Features
- 1 3/8-ounce premium shot charge for maximum downrange energy
- High-velocity loading delivers approximately 1,300 fps muzzle velocity
- Size 6 shot provides optimal pellet count and penetration balance
- 2.75-inch hull length fits all 12-gauge chambers including 3-inch magnum guns
- Italian-manufactured hulls with advanced polymer construction
- Consistent powder charge for shot-to-shot velocity uniformity
- 25 rounds per box with 10 boxes per case (250 total rounds)
Field testing demonstrates effective lethal range extension of 5-10 yards over standard 1 1/4-ounce loads on medium-sized upland birds. The size 6 shot configuration provides approximately 225 pellets per shell, creating dense patterns suitable for crossing shots and longer presentations. Weather-sealed primers and moisture-resistant hull coatings maintain reliability in wet field conditions and temperature variations from -20°F to 140°F.
