The Fiocchi Golden Pheasant Extrema 28 gauge 3" shotshell is purpose-built for the upland hunter who appreciates a lighter recoil and tighter shot patterns without sacrificing performance on roosters and grouse. With a 1 1/16 oz payload of plated lead #5 shot, these rounds deliver consistent knockdown on birds at typical hunting distances while the 28 gauge's modest recoil and powder load make for a more pleasant shooting experience across a full day in the field. Whether you're working brush for pheasants, flushing grouse over pointers, or chasing other upland game, Golden Pheasant Extrema ammunition pairs reliable ignition with shot patterning that puts more birds in your bag.
Fiocchi has engineered these rounds specifically for the demands of upland hunting. The plated lead shot resists deformation, which means denser, more uniform patterns downrange—a critical advantage when your quarry flushes at unpredictable distances. The 28 gauge is an ideal choice for hunters who value accuracy and shot placement over raw velocity, and it excels in open to semi-open chokes that upland guns typically wear.
Each case contains 10 boxes of 25 rounds, giving you 250 shells to stock your locker for the season. These are lead loads, so they're suited for upland fields but not waterfowl hunting. If you run a 28 gauge and want ammunition tuned to flush and finish birds efficiently, Golden Pheasant Extrema delivers the reliable performance Fiocchi is known for.

No. These are lead shot loads. Federal and most state regulations prohibit lead ammunition for waterfowl hunting. Use only when hunting upland game in jurisdictions where lead is legal.
