If you hunt upland game with a 28 gauge, you already know why this gauge is so appealing: light recoil, quick handling, and a gun you can carry all day without fatigue. The Remington Express XLR in 28 gauge brings proven performance to that platform. This load puts 3/4 ounce of #7.5 shot downrange at 1295 fps, which is the real-world ballistic foundation for effective quail and dove hunting.
Remington built this line around tight patterns and consistent energy retention. The high brass head ensures reliable extraction and feeding whether your shotgun is a breakopen, single shot, or semi-auto action. Inside, you get copper-plated lead pellets paired with Remington's Power Piston wad system that creates that tight pattern consistency upland hunters count on. This isn't a flashy load, just one that works.
Number 7.5 shot walks the middle ground in upland ballistics. It carries enough energy at extended range to cleanly knock down birds like pheasant and quail without over-penetrating, and the pellet count gives you a reasonable spread pattern. This is the same shot size that has worked on upland birds for decades. If you're looking for slightly more range on bigger birds or tougher conditions, a #6 shot load will give you fewer, larger pellets. The 7.5 shines when you're in typical upland cover and expect close to moderate flush distances.
Twenty-five rounds per box breaks down to manageable hunting loads. You get the classic green-box Remington ammunition that's been trusted by field hunters for generations. The combination of velocity, payload, and shot size makes these shells reliable across different types of upland hunting situations.
The #7.5 shot and 3/4 ounce payload make this load ideal for quail, doves, woodcock, and other small upland game birds. It works on grouse as well. The shot size is small enough to avoid excessive damage to smaller birds like quail while maintaining sufficient downrange energy for clean, ethical kills at typical upland hunting distances.
Yes. The high brass head and consistent powder charge are specifically designed for reliable cycling in semi-auto actions, as well as breakopen and single-shot shotguns. The load generates adequate recoil energy to cycle the action without problems.
The 28 gauge delivers lighter recoil and a noticeably lighter gun to carry all day. The tradeoff is somewhat fewer pellets downrange, but with quality ammunition like this Express XLR load, you still have plenty of pattern density and energy for typical upland cover. Many upland hunters prefer the 28 for its handling and reduced fatigue on long days afield.
Yes, the hulls are suitable for reloading. Just inspect them for uniformity and damage before reloading, as you would with any shotshell hull.
