The Remington Nitro Pheasant 12-gauge ammunition delivers consistent knockdown power for upland game hunting with its optimized #6 shot payload and high-velocity performance. This premium hunting load combines traditional reliability with modern ballistic engineering to ensure clean harvests at extended ranges.
What Makes This Different
The Nitro Pheasant line features Remington's advanced powder formulation that generates 15% higher velocities than standard field loads while maintaining consistent chamber pressures. The precision-formed shot pellets maintain tighter patterns at longer distances compared to standard lead shot, with uniform pellet distribution that increases hit probability on fast-moving birds. The high-antimony lead shot resists deformation during barrel travel, preserving pellet roundness for maximum energy transfer.
Key Features
- High-velocity 1-1/4 ounce #6 shot load optimized for pheasant hunting
- Premium high-antimony lead shot maintains pellet integrity through choke
- Advanced powder blend delivers consistent 1330 fps muzzle velocity
- Precision-crimped 2.75-inch hulls ensure reliable feeding and extraction
- Boxer-primed brass cases suitable for reloading applications
- Factory-tested patterns provide consistent shot distribution
- Compatible with all 12-gauge shotguns chambered for 2.75-inch shells
Field testing demonstrates effective range extension over standard hunting loads, with dense patterns maintained to 40 yards through improved cylinder chokes and 45+ yards through modified restrictions. The #6 shot size provides optimal balance between pellet count and individual pellet energy for medium-sized upland birds. Weather-sealed primers and moisture-resistant powder ensure reliable ignition in adverse hunting conditions.
