Fiocchi 16GP6 Golden Pheasant Extrema 16 Gauge 2.75" 1-1/8oz #6 Shot

The Fiocchi 16GP6 Golden Pheasant Extrema delivers consistent performance for upland bird hunters seeking reliable 16-gauge ammunition. This premium load combines nickel-plated shot with optimized powder charges to extend effective range and improve pattern density. Each shell features Fiocchi's precision manufacturing standards that have earned trust among hunters worldwide.

What Makes This Different

The Golden Pheasant Extrema line incorporates nickel-plated #6 shot that resists deformation during firing, maintaining pellet roundness for improved ballistic performance. Unlike standard lead shot, the nickel plating reduces barrel leading while delivering tighter patterns at extended ranges. The 1-1/8 ounce payload provides substantial knockdown power while maintaining manageable recoil in lightweight 16-gauge firearms.

Key Features

• Nickel-plated #6 shot for enhanced pattern density and reduced barrel fouling
• 1-1/8 ounce payload delivers optimal energy transfer for medium game birds
• 2.75-inch hull length ensures compatibility with all 16-gauge shotguns
• Premium plastic wad system protects shot column during barrel transit
• Consistent powder charges provide uniform velocities shot-to-shot
• High-quality brass heads resist extraction issues in semi-automatic actions
• Factory-fresh primers ensure reliable ignition in all weather conditions

Field performance demonstrates effective patterns out to 40 yards on pheasant, grouse, and similar-sized upland game. The #6 shot size strikes an optimal balance between pellet count and individual pellet energy, providing clean kills without excessive meat damage. The nickel plating maintains pellet integrity through choke constrictions, resulting in more uniform patterns compared to standard lead shot.
