Fiocchi Golden Pheasant Ammunition 28 Gauge 2-3/4" 7/8 oz #7-1/2 Nickel Plated Shot Box of 25

The Fiocchi Golden Pheasant 28 gauge shotshell is built for upland hunters who want reliable, well-patterning loads without stepping up to a heavier gauge. Loaded with 7/8 oz of nickel-plated lead shot in #7.5, these 2-3/4" shells deliver the shot density needed to cleanly take roosters, hens, and other upland birds. The nickel plating reduces deformation during the shot string, helping you maintain consistent patterns downrange—a real advantage when your target is 30+ yards out and moving fast.

If you shoot a 28 gauge, you already know the appeal: less recoil and less weight in the field without sacrificing effectiveness. Fiocchi Golden Pheasant loads are optimized to make the most of that platform. The #7.5 shot size strikes the balance between energy and pellet count, giving you enough knockdown to anchor roosters while keeping pattern density tight enough for clean, ethical kills. That matters when you're hunting public land or pressure birds that don't sit still.

Each box contains 25 shells, so you can load a couple of rounds of doubles without rationing. Whether you're working behind a pointer, following a flushing dog through CRP, or hunting a local preserve, these loads fit the upland game they're designed for.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shells work in my 28 gauge shotgun?

Yes, if your shotgun is chambered for 2-3/4" shells. Always confirm your gun's chamber length before shooting; most 28 gauges use 2-3/4" chambers, but some older or specialty guns may differ.

What game are Fiocchi Golden Pheasant shells best for?

They're optimized for pheasants, but work well on grouse, quail, and other upland birds in the same size class. The #7.5 shot and 7/8 oz payload give you enough pattern and energy for clean kills at typical upland hunting ranges.

How many shells come in a box?

Each box contains 25 shells.

Why does shot plating matter?

Nickel plating reduces deformation of lead pellets as they travel through the barrel and separate in flight, helping maintain tighter, more consistent patterns at distance—important for reliable wing-shooting.
