The Remington Pheasant 12 gauge ammunition delivers consistent knockdown power for upland bird hunting with precision-engineered #6 shot pellets. This 2.75-inch shell configuration provides optimal range and pattern density for pheasant, grouse, and similar game birds.
What Makes This Different
Remington's pheasant load features a carefully balanced powder charge that generates 1,220 fps muzzle velocity for flat trajectories and effective energy transfer. The 1-1/4 ounce shot charge contains more pellets than standard 1-ounce loads, increasing hit probability on fast-moving birds. Each shell uses Remington's proven hull construction with reliable primer ignition and consistent crimp quality.
Key Features
- 1-1/4 ounce #6 shot charge for maximum pellet count and stopping power
- 2.75-inch hull length fits all 12 gauge shotguns including 2.75" chambers
- 1,220 fps muzzle velocity provides flat shooting trajectory
- High-quality brass-plated steel head prevents extraction issues
- Consistent powder charge ensures reliable cycling in semi-automatic shotguns

Field performance testing shows effective patterns out to 40 yards with modified choke tubes, making this load suitable for both early season birds in cover and late season long shots. The #6 shot size strikes the optimal balance between pellet energy and pattern density for pheasant-sized game. Semi-automatic shotgun owners will appreciate the consistent chamber pressure that ensures reliable ejection and feeding.
