Remington Express XLR 12 Gauge 2.75″ #2 Shot 1-1/4 oz

Description

If you're hunting pheasants and other bigger upland birds, these Remington Express XLR shells are built to reach out there and perform. The 1-1/4 ounce charge of number 2 lead shot at 1330 fps gives you more energy retention and a tighter pattern than smaller shot sizes, making it the right choice for birds that demand respect at distance.

What Makes the Express XLR Different

Remington engineered these loads with a Power Piston one-piece wad that maintains consistent patterns shot after shot. The high brass head means these shells feed reliably through everything from classic break-actions to modern semi-autos, and you get the ballistic consistency that comes from decades of shotshell manufacturing. The 11 g/cc load density creates a pattern that stays together longer, which is exactly what you need when birds flush at the edge of effective range.

Express XLR and Number 2 Shot

Number 2 shot sits in that sweet spot for pheasant hunting. You get enough pellets per shell to maintain good pattern density, but each pellet carries serious energy. This size works well across typical upland terrain, whether you're hunting open fields or working through brush where birds hold tight. At 1330 fps, the velocity keeps patterns effective well beyond 35 yards, and the combination of payload and pellet size lets you take longer shots with confidence.

Ready to Hunt

Each box contains 25 shells, so you get plenty of hunting without breaking the bank between field days. These load specifications have been proven on everything from bobwhites to grouse, and they're built to perform in real field conditions where reliable ballistics matter.
