Fiocchi Golden Pheasant 16 gauge shotshells deliver the pattern density and velocity upland hunters rely on when birds flush across open country. Loaded with 1-1/8 ounces of nickel-plated lead shot in a 2-3/4" hull, these shells are engineered specifically for pheasants—the premium target they're named for—and perform equally well on grouse, woodcock, and other upland game. The nickel plating tightens shot patterns and reduces deformation in the barrel, giving you cleaner, more consistent patterns downrange.
If you hunt wide-open fields where longer shots are common, the density of Fiocchi's loading helps you maintain pattern integrity beyond typical close-range encounters. The 16 gauge splits the difference between the lighter 20 and heavier 12, making Golden Pheasant a smart choice for hunters who want knockdown energy without excessive recoil over a long day of walking.
Each box contains 25 shells, making it convenient to break into a case or test a load before committing. Fiocchi ammunition is manufactured in Italy and has earned a solid reputation for consistency and performance across North American hunting grounds.

Any shotgun chambered for 16 gauge 2-3/4" shells will function with Golden Pheasant ammunition. Check your gun's manual or barrel marking to confirm compatibility with 2-3/4" loads.
Yes. While optimized for pheasants, the pattern density and shot weight make Golden Pheasant shells effective on grouse, woodcock, and other upland birds where similar shot sizes and velocities are appropriate.
Nickel plating the shot pellets reduces deformation as they move through the barrel and tightens the pattern. This results in cleaner, denser patterns and more consistent ballistics downrange.
Each box contains 25 shells, allowing you to purchase in standard increments without buying full cases.
