Remington Pheasant Upland 12 Gauge 2.75" 1 1/4 oz #5 Shot - 25 Rounds per Box

Remington Pheasant Upland 12 gauge ammunition is purpose-built for wing shooting over dogs and through thick brush. These 2.75-inch shells load 1 1/4 ounces of #5 shot, a combination that has proven effective on roosters and other upland birds for generations. Whether you're hunting behind a pointer in open country or navigating dense CRP, this ammo delivers the velocity and pattern density pheasant hunters need to convert opportunities into birds in the bag.

The #5 shot size strikes a balance between energy retention and payload — large enough to anchor birds at distance, yet numerous enough to maintain effective coverage as the pattern opens. At 1330 fps muzzle velocity, these loads perform across a variety of choke constrictions, making them reliable whether you're running an improved cylinder or full choke. The 25-round box fits easily in a vest pocket, so you can carry what you need without excessive bulk on a long day afield.

Lead loads remain the standard for upland hunting, and Remington's pheasant-specific formulation reflects decades of feedback from hunters who know what works in the field. Stock these for early-season hunts when birds are fresher and more forgiving of shot placement, or keep them on hand for practice and pattern testing before the season opens.

Frequently Asked Questions

What shotgun chokes work best with Remington Pheasant Upland shells?

These 2.75-inch, 1 1/4 oz loads perform across a range of choke constrictions. Many upland hunters favor improved cylinder or modified chokes for closer-range work and better pattern spread, though they'll function in any standard 12 gauge choke tube.

Is #5 shot appropriate for pheasant hunting?

Yes. #5 shot is a traditional and effective choice for pheasant hunting. The pellet size provides adequate energy to humanely harvest birds at typical upland ranges while offering sufficient shot count per load for reliable pattern density.

How many rounds come in each box, and how are they packaged?

Each box contains 25 rounds. Cases contain 10 boxes, providing 250 rounds for range practice, pattern testing, or extended hunting trips.

Can I use these 2.75-inch shells in any 12 gauge shotgun?

2.75-inch shells are standard for 12 gauge shotguns. They are compatible with all 12 gauge firearms chambered for standard loads (not 3-inch or 3.5-inch magnums). Always verify your specific shotgun's chamber length in its documentation before loading.
