The Remington Express XLR 12 Gauge delivers consistent patterns and reliable performance for upland game hunting and sporting clays. This 2.75-inch shell loads 1 1/4 ounces of #6 shot at velocities optimized for medium-range targets. Remington's Express line has maintained its reputation for dependable ignition and uniform shot distribution across decades of field use.
What Makes This Different
Express XLR ammunition features Remington's proven powder formulation that produces consistent velocities shot after shot. The #6 shot size strikes the optimal balance between pellet count and individual pellet energy, delivering effective patterns on birds ranging from quail to pheasant. Standard Express loads often exhibit velocity variations, but XLR maintains tighter velocity spreads for more predictable downrange performance.

Field testing demonstrates effective patterns out to 40 yards on upland birds, with sufficient energy retention for clean harvests. The #6 shot size penetrates adequately on dove, quail, and grouse while providing enough pellets for reasonable margin of error on crossing shots. Sporting clays shooters appreciate the consistent break power on standard and midi targets.
