The Fiocchi 20GP6 Golden Pheasant Extrema delivers premium upland hunting performance with precision-loaded 20-gauge shells engineered for pheasant and waterfowl. This ammunition combines consistent powder charges with high-quality shot to maximize pattern density and knockdown power at extended ranges.
What Makes This Different
Fiocchi's Golden Pheasant Extrema line features enhanced velocity loads that outperform standard field loads by 150-200 fps. The nickel-plated shot resists deformation during barrel travel, maintaining pellet roundness for tighter patterns and deeper penetration. Premium wad design creates consistent shot columns while reducing felt recoil compared to equivalent 12-gauge loads.
Key Features
- 1 oz of #6 nickel-plated shot for maximum pellet count and energy retention
- 2.75" hull length fits all 20-gauge chambers including semi-automatics
- High-velocity powder charge delivers 1,220 fps muzzle velocity
- Precision-crimped hulls ensure reliable feeding and extraction
- Brass-plated steel heads resist corrosion in wet conditions
- Low-flash powder reduces muzzle signature for follow-up shots
- Consistent shot weights within ±2 grains for predictable ballistics
Field testing demonstrates effective ranges up to 45 yards on pheasant-sized game, with pattern densities exceeding 70% in a 30-inch circle at 35 yards. The #6 shot size provides optimal balance between pellet count and individual pellet energy for clean kills on medium upland birds. Weather-resistant primers function reliably in temperatures from -20°F to 125°F, making these shells suitable for early season dove hunts through late-season pheasant drives.
