Description

If you're heading out for pheasants, the Golden Pheasant line from Fiocchi delivers the kind of performance that justifies the effort you put into a hunt. These are purpose-built shells loaded with nickel-plated lead shot at a 1200 fps velocity. The nickel plating resists deformation better than standard lead, which means your patterns stay consistent shot to shot and your pellets penetrate deeper when they connect.

What Makes the Golden Pheasant Load Stand Out

The real strength here is the combination of payload and velocity. At 1-3/4 ounces of #6 shot in a 3-inch shell, you get plenty of pellets without excessive velocity that can sometimes mess with pattern consistency. Fiocchi pairs these nickel-plated pellets with quality wads engineered to protect the shot and optimize how it patterns downrange. People who've run these through patterning boards report even, consistent distributions, which is what you need when birds are moving fast.

Suited for Upland Game Beyond Pheasants

While the name says pheasant, #6 shot has versatility. You can use these on grouse, quail, and other medium-sized upland birds. The shot size is fine enough for clean hits but substantial enough to deliver real knockdown power. Your gun needs to be chambered for 3-inch shells though. Don't try forcing these into a 2-3/4-inch chamber.

Each box holds 25 rounds and comes packaged 10 per case if you're stocking up for the season. Fiocchi's been making ammo since 1876, and these shells reflect that heritage of quality components and reliable performance in the field.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use these Golden Pheasant shells in a shotgun chambered for 2-3/4 inch shells?

No, these are 3-inch shells and should only be used in shotguns chambered for 3-inch or 3.5-inch rounds. Using 3-inch shells in a gun designed for 2-3/4 inches can be unsafe and may damage your firearm. Always check your gun's chamber marking before loading.

What makes nickel-plated shot better than regular lead for hunting?

Nickel plating keeps pellets harder and rounder, which helps them resist deformation during firing and improves pattern consistency. This tighter patterning and better pellet integrity means more reliable performance on game at typical hunting distances.

Are these shells good for upland game besides pheasants?

Yes, #6 shot is versatile enough for grouse, quail, chukar, and other medium-sized upland birds. While designed for pheasants, the payload and shot size work well across the upland spectrum. Just make sure whatever you're hunting matches the power level and shot size for clean, ethical kills.

How many shells come in a full case?

Each box contains 25 rounds. Cases come packaged with 10 boxes, totaling 250 rounds per case for those who want to stock up before the season.
