Fiocchi 123GP6 Golden Pheasant12 Gauge 3" 1 3/4 oz 1200 fps 6 Shot 25ea

Fiocchi Golden Pheasant 12 gauge shotshells are purpose-built for upland hunting—specifically engineered to deliver the payload and shot pattern you need to cleanly take roosters at typical hunting distances. Each round pairs a 3-inch hull with 1 3/4 oz of plated lead #6 shot, traveling at 1200 fps. That combination strikes a practical balance between energy and shot density, making these loads effective on pheasants, grouse, and similar upland game birds.

Golden Pheasant shells use plated lead shot, which maintains a tighter, more consistent pattern downrange compared to unplated lead. That translates to better energy retention and more reliable knockdown on larger upland birds—the kind of performance difference that shows up in your hunting results, not just on paper. Whether you're working a field over pointers or pushing through brush, you're running ammunition designed by a maker with deep roots in shotgun hunting.

Each box contains 25 rounds, giving you a standard handful for a morning hunt or a full day afield. Fiocchi has been building ammunition for serious hunters and shooters since 1876, and that heritage shows in their focus on consistency and terminal performance rather than flashy marketing claims.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Fiocchi Golden Pheasant loads good for grouse and other upland birds?

Yes. While optimized for pheasant, the #6 shot and 1 3/4 oz payload work well on grouse and similar upland game birds at hunting ranges.

What's the advantage of plated lead shot?

Plated lead shot holds its pellet shape better in the barrel and downrange, resulting in tighter patterns and more consistent energy delivery than unplated lead.

Is 1200 fps fast enough for hunting?

Yes. The 1200 fps velocity is appropriate for upland hunting applications and pairs well with the 1 3/4 oz shot charge to deliver effective patterns at typical hunting distances.

How many shells are in each box?

Each box contains 25 rounds.
