The Remington Nitro Pheasant 12-gauge ammunition delivers consistent knockdown power for upland bird hunting with precision-engineered shot patterns. This premium load combines 1-3/8 ounces of #6 shot with high-velocity performance designed specifically for pheasant and similar game birds. Each shell generates the energy needed to cleanly harvest birds at extended ranges while maintaining tight, uniform patterns.
What Makes This Different
Remington's Nitro Pheasant ammunition features specialized powder charges that produce higher velocities than standard field loads, resulting in flatter trajectories and increased downrange energy. The buffered shot pellets resist deformation during acceleration, maintaining rounder pellets that fly truer and penetrate deeper. This translates to more consistent patterns and improved terminal performance compared to unbuffered hunting loads.
Key Features
- High-velocity 12-gauge load with 1-3/8 ounces of #6 shot for maximum stopping power
- 2.75-inch shell length fits all 12-gauge shotguns including 3-inch chambers
- Buffered shot pellets maintain shape for tighter patterns and deeper penetration
- Premium powder charge delivers consistent velocities shot after shot
- Reliable primer ignition in all weather conditions
- 25 shells per box with 10 boxes per case for 250 total rounds
- Remington quality construction with proven hunting performance
Field testing demonstrates this load's effectiveness on pheasants, grouse, and similar upland game at ranges from 25 to 45 yards. The #6 shot size provides an optimal balance of pellet count and individual pellet energy for clean, ethical harvests. The high-velocity design maintains lethal energy at longer distances while the buffered shot ensures consistent pattern density. Hunters report reliable cycling in semi-automatic shotguns and consistent point of impact in both over/under and side-by-side configurations.
