The Remington Express XLR 28 Gauge delivers consistent patterns and reliable ignition for upland bird hunting and clay sports. This premium shotshell combines proven powder formulations with precision-manufactured components to maximize downrange performance in the compact 28-gauge platform.
What Makes This Different
Remington's Express XLR technology extends effective range through enhanced velocity retention and tighter shot patterns compared to standard field loads. The specialized powder charge maintains consistent pressures across temperature variations while the buffered shot column reduces pellet deformation during barrel transit. This combination produces 15-20% tighter patterns at 40 yards than conventional 28-gauge loads.
Key Features
- 3/4 oz shot charge with #7.5 lead pellets for optimal small game performance
- 2.75-inch hull length fits all standard 28-gauge chambers
- High-velocity powder formulation for extended effective range
- Buffered shot column minimizes pellet deformation
- Reliable primer ignition system performs in adverse conditions
- Brass-plated steel head construction ensures consistent extraction
- 25 rounds per box packaging for convenient field carry
Field testing demonstrates consistent 1,200+ fps muzzle velocities with tight pattern densities at extended ranges. The #7.5 shot size provides ideal pellet count and energy retention for quail, dove, and woodcock hunting while maintaining sufficient power for sporting clays and skeet competition. The buffered shot charge maintains pattern integrity through modified and improved cylinder chokes.
