Fiocchi Golden Pheasant 28 gauge shotshells deliver classic upland hunting performance in a lighter-recoiling package. These 2-3/4" loads pack 7/8 oz of #5 nickel-plated shot, built to give you clean, consistent patterns in the field without excessive kick—ideal if you prefer the nimble handling and reduced fatigue of a 28 gauge over heavier shotgun gauges, or if you're introducing a younger or smaller-framed shooter to upland bird hunting.
Nickel plating on the shot provides a harder surface than standard lead, which helps reduce deformation during the firing sequence and can improve pattern density downrange. Fiocchi has been loading ammunition since 1876, and their Golden Pheasant line reflects decades of upland-hunting know-how. The #5 shot size is a proven choice for pheasant and other medium-sized upland game at typical hunting ranges.
Each box contains 25 rounds, giving you a practical field supply for a day afield or a trip to the skeet range. Whether you shoot a lightweight side-by-side, over-under, or semi-auto in 28 gauge, these shells are built to cycle reliably and pattern clean. If you've chosen 28 gauge for its pointability, low recoil, or heritage appeal, Golden Pheasant loads will let you focus on your shot instead of fighting your gun.
