Fiocchi 12GP5 Golden Pheasant Extrema 12 Gauge 2.75" 1 3/8 oz 5 Shot 25 Per Box/ 10 Cs

Fiocchi Golden Pheasant Extrema 12 gauge ammunition is a purpose-built load for upland hunters who demand consistent, reliable patterns when birds flush. These 2.75-inch shells deliver 1 3/8 oz of plated lead #5 shot—a classic combination that balances pattern density with adequate shot energy for roosters, hens, and other upland game. Whether you're working a hedgerow over pointers and setters or pushing through brush country, Golden Pheasant Extrema rounds are built to perform in the field and convert opportunities into birds in your vest.

Fiocchi has a long reputation for quality shotshell ammunition, and these loads are no exception. The plating on the lead shot helps maintain pattern integrity and reduces deformation, meaning tighter, more predictable shot groupings downrange. For upland hunters who've tested multiple brands and settled on what works, Golden Pheasant Extrema delivers the consistency you need without the premium price tag of exotic alternatives.

Each box contains 25 rounds, so you'll have enough for a solid day afield or multiple practice sessions before the opener. Standard 12 gauge, 2.75-inch chambered shotguns will handle them without issue, making these a straightforward choice whether you're reaching for a side-by-side, over-under, or semi-auto.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these work in my 12 gauge shotgun?

Yes, as long as your shotgun is chambered for 2.75-inch shells. The vast majority of 12 gauge hunting shotguns accept this standard length. Check your owner's manual or barrel marking if you're unsure.

What game are Fiocchi Golden Pheasant Extrema shells designed for?

These loads are optimized for pheasant hunting, but they're equally effective on grouse, quail, and other upland species. The #5 shot size and 1 3/8 oz payload balance pattern density with the right energy for birds in that class.

What does plated shot mean?

Plated lead shot is coated with a thin layer of copper or other material. This plating reduces shot deformation as pellets travel down the barrel and through the air, helping you maintain tighter, more consistent patterns downrange.

Is this ammunition suitable for target shooting or just hunting?

While Fiocchi Golden Pheasant Extrema is designed and marketed as a hunting load, the specifications provided are focused on its upland game applications. Use this product according to Fiocchi's recommendations and your local hunting regulations.
