Fiocchi 283GP6 Golden Pheasant 28 Gauge 3" 11/16oz #6 Shot Shells

The Fiocchi Golden Pheasant Extrema 283GP6 delivers exceptional performance for upland bird hunters pursuing pheasant, grouse, and similar game birds. This premium 28-gauge load combines Fiocchi's precision manufacturing with carefully selected components to maximize effectiveness in the field. The 3-inch magnum shell provides the power needed to extend effective range while maintaining the lighter recoil characteristics that make 28-gauge shotguns so popular among experienced hunters.

What Makes This Different

The Golden Pheasant Extrema line features nickel-plated shot that resists deformation during barrel travel, resulting in tighter patterns and improved penetration compared to standard lead shot. The specially formulated powder charge burns consistently across temperature ranges, ensuring reliable ignition and uniform velocities. Fiocchi's quality control standards exceed industry norms, with each hull inspected before loading to guarantee proper crimping and consistent performance.

Key Features

• 11/16 ounce payload of nickel-plated #6 shot for optimal pheasant hunting performance
• 3-inch magnum hull maximizes powder capacity for increased velocity
• High-antimony lead shot maintains roundness through choke constriction
• Premium plastic wad design protects shot column and improves patterns
• Reliable primer ignition system performs in cold weather conditions
• Consistent crimp ensures proper chambering in all 28-gauge shotguns
• Brass-plated steel head provides extraction reliability

Field testing demonstrates effective ranges extending beyond standard 28-gauge loads, making this ammunition suitable for longer shots on running pheasant and other upland birds. The #6 shot size strikes the ideal balance between pellet count and individual pellet energy for clean, humane kills on medium-sized game birds. Pattern density remains consistent through modified and improved cylinder chokes, while full choke tubes produce tight, uniform patterns at extended ranges.
