Remington built Nitro Pheasant loads with one thing in mind: dropping tough birds when it matters. Each 2.75-inch shell carries a full ounce of Copper-Lokt copper-plated lead shot formulated with high antimony content to stay rounder and fly truer downrange. That hardness matters when you're chasing wild roosters through stubble and brush, especially with going-away shots that test your load's penetration and energy.
Copper-plating isn't just a marketing angle here. The harder lead stays uniform through the barrel, resisting deformation that would scatter your pattern. You get denser patterns at longer distances and better penetration on birds flushed far from your position. The ballistics stack up well against what you'll find in other upland loads at comparable distances. For a 20 gauge, this loading strikes a balance between pattern density and the carrying capacity of the smaller gauge.
No.5 shot has earned its place in upland hunting for good reason. It offers enough pellets to fill your pattern without sacrificing individual pellet energy. If you're hunting over dogs or in close to moderate cover where most shots fall between 25 and 40 yards, this is a solid choice. The 1300 fps velocity keeps patterns tight and lethal at typical upland ranges. Remington loads these in standard high-base brass for reliable feeding through most modern 20 gauges.
These shells come 25 to a box, so you can load up for a full day afield without worrying about running dry before the season's best hunting happens. Made in the USA with quality control you can depend on.
Nitro Pheasant uses Remington's Copper-Lokt copper-plated lead shot with higher antimony content, which keeps pellets rounder and harder than regular lead. This translates to tighter patterns and better penetration at range. The harder construction resists deformation as it travels down the barrel, giving you more consistent performance shot to shot.
No.5 shot is a solid middle-ground option for 20 gauge upland hunting. It provides enough pellet count for decent pattern density while maintaining individual pellet energy. Many experienced upland hunters prefer No.5 or No.6 in a 20 gauge, and these Nitro Pheasant loads with their hard shot and 1300 fps velocity work well for typical shots between 25 and 40 yards. Always pattern your gun with your chosen load to verify performance in your specific shotgun.
Yes, 2.75-inch shells will chamber and fire in any 20 gauge shotgun, including those with 3-inch capability. Your gun will handle them without issue. If you want more shot for denser patterns, Remington also makes similar Nitro loads in 3-inch and 3.5-inch configurations.
Keep Nitro Pheasant shells in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Proper storage extends shelf life and maintains consistent performance. Store ammunition separately from firearms in a secure location that's inaccessible to unauthorized users.
