The Remington Nitro Pheasant line earned its reputation in the field, and this 20 gauge version brings that same reliable performance to 2.75" hulls. If you're stepping up from basic field loads, you'll notice the difference—these shells use copper-plated lead shot with elevated antimony content, which keeps pellets rounder and harder throughout their flight path. That translates to denser patterns and better downrange energy than you'll get from standard loads.
The core of this load is the shot itself. Harder pellets maintain their shape through the barrel and choke, which means less deformation and less flyer pellets spreading your pattern. At 1300 feet per second, you get solid velocity without excessive recoil, especially important if you're shooting a 20 gauge for hours in the field. Number 6 shot strikes the right balance in a 20 gauge hull—enough pellets for good pattern density without the thin patterns you sometimes see with larger shot sizes in smaller gauges. It's effective on wild birds and pen birds alike, though like any hunting load, shot placement matters more than anything else.
The 1 ounce payload is a proven quantity for 20 gauge pheasant hunting. Recoil stays manageable compared to 12 gauge alternatives, which is worth considering if you plan to put down multiple boxes over a season. Real-world field experience shows these loads deliver consistent results from modified and improved cylinder chokes, and they pattern reliably enough that you can depend on them without spending an afternoon at the pattern board.
These come 25 to a box, which is standard for serious hunting loads. The green hull is recognizable at a glance, and the high brass fits older and newer 20 gauge shotguns alike. If you hunt over a good dog on open ground or have the time to pick your shots on wild flushers, this is a load worth running through your gun before season arrives.
The main difference is the shot hardness. These use Copper-Lokt shot with high antimony content, which keeps pellets rounder through the barrel. That means tighter, denser patterns and better energy downrange. Standard field loads use softer shot that deforms more, creating flyer pellets and less consistent patterns.
Yes, when you do your part on shot placement. A 1 ounce load in a 20 gauge with #6 shot is a proven combination for upland hunting. The smaller shot size actually gives you more pellets in the pattern, which helps at typical hunting ranges. If you're consistently shooting birds at 40+ yards, you might consider a 3 inch magnum load, but for normal upland hunting this is reliable.
Remington doesn't publish exact antimony percentages, but they emphasize the high content is what makes their shot among the hardest they produce. Harder shot doesn't flatten when it exits the barrel or travels through the air, so you maintain round pellets in your pattern. Round pellets deliver more consistent downrange energy and penetration than flattened ones.
These are standard 2.75 inch high-brass shells, so they should cycle fine in any shotgun designed for 2.75 inch loads. Older guns that have been properly maintained typically have no issues. If your shotgun is 70+ years old or you're unsure, check your manual or have a gunsmith verify before shooting.
