Remington Nitro Pheasant 12 Gauge 2.75" #8 Shot 1-1/4oz Shells

The Remington Nitro Pheasant 12 gauge shotshells deliver consistent knockdown power for upland bird hunting with premium copper-plated shot and high-velocity performance. These 2.75-inch shells feature #8 shot in a 1-1/4 ounce payload, engineered specifically for pheasant hunting applications where dense patterns and reliable cycling matter most.

What Makes This Different

Remington's Nitro Pheasant ammunition utilizes copper-plated shot pellets that maintain their spherical shape better than standard lead shot, resulting in tighter patterns and improved penetration. The high-velocity powder charge pushes the 1-1/4 ounce payload at speeds that deliver flat trajectories and hard-hitting performance on fast-flying upland birds. This premium loading outperforms standard field loads with 15% better pattern density at extended ranges.

Key Features

• Copper-plated #8 shot pellets for enhanced pattern density and penetration
• High-velocity loading with 1-1/4 ounce payload for maximum knockdown power
• 2.75-inch hull length compatible with all 12 gauge shotguns
• Buffered shot charge reduces pellet deformation during firing
• Premium powder formulation for consistent velocities and clean burning
• Reliable primer ignition system performs in temperature extremes
• 25 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case (250 total rounds)

Field testing demonstrates consistent 1,300+ fps muzzle velocities with tight, even patterns that maintain lethal energy beyond 40 yards. The copper plating process hardens each pellet, reducing flyers and maintaining pattern integrity through choke tubes. These shells cycle reliably in semi-automatic shotguns while delivering the stopping power needed for late-season pheasants in heavy cover.
