The 28 gauge has a dedicated following among upland hunters who appreciate its light recoil and pointability, but you need the right ammunition to make it count. Fiocchi Golden Pheasant Extrema fills that gap with a load specifically engineered for game birds that demand precision and performance.
The defining feature here is the nickel-plated shot construction. Nickel coating hardens the lead pellets so they deform less during firing and stay more spherical as they travel downrange. That means tighter patterns, straighter flight paths, and deeper penetration when the shot reaches your target. Combined with engineered wads that protect the shot column and optimize pattern consistency, these loads deliver the reliable performance upland hunting requires. The 1200 fps velocity is tuned for balanced energy without the felt recoil that larger gauges produce.
These shells carry 1 1/16 ounces of nickel-plated #7.5 shot in a 3-inch hull, giving you a healthy payload with enough pellet count to maintain pattern density at typical upland ranges. The #7.5 shot size strikes a practical balance for roosters and hens—smaller than #6 for tighter patterns, larger than #8 to retain energy downrange. Whether you're hunting late-season birds or pushing into brushy cover, this load has the density to anchor birds cleanly when you execute the shot.
Fiocchi has been producing ammunition since 1876 and manufactures these loads in their Missouri facility using quality powders, primers, and hulls. Each box contains 25 rounds, enough for a solid day afield without overkill.
Yes. The 1 1/16 oz nickel-plated #7.5 shot load is specifically designed for pheasant and other upland game birds hunted with 28 gauge. The nickel plating promotes harder, rounder pellets that penetrate more effectively and maintain tighter patterns than standard lead shot, making it effective for roosters and hens within typical upland ranges.
Nickel plating hardens the lead pellets, reducing deformation in the barrel and shot cup. This keeps pellets rounder as they fly, resulting in denser patterns at distance and better penetration on impact. For 28 gauge hunting where pellet count is already modest compared to larger gauges, this consistency makes a meaningful difference in pattern reliability.
No. Not all 28 gauge shotguns are chambered for 3-inch shells. You must verify your shotgun's specifications before using these shells. Check your barrel markings or owner's manual to confirm it will safely handle 3-inch ammunition. Using oversized shells in a gun not designed for them can be unsafe.
Number 7.5 shot offers more pellets per ounce than #6 or #5, which improves pattern density at moderate ranges and works well for early-season birds and typical upland scenarios. Larger shot sizes like #5 or #6 retain energy better at longer distances and penetrate deeper, so choice depends on cover conditions, season, and your shooting range preferences.
