Remington Express XLR Upland 12 Gauge 2.75" 1 1/4 oz #2 Shot - 25 Rounds/Box

Remington Express XLR Upland shotshells in 12 gauge 2.75" are built for the bird hunter who wants reliable, proven performance in the field. These loads deliver a 1 1/4 oz payload of #2 lead shot at 1330 fps, a ballistic pairing designed to put clean, dense patterns on pheasant and other upland game at effective hunting distances. If you're working dogs through prairie or timber, or walking up birds in open country, these shells offer the kind of consistent performance that's earned trust across decades of upland seasons.

The #2 shot size sits in the sweet spot for pheasant hunting—large enough to deliver energy and penetration on tough birds, but numerous enough to maintain pattern density that matters when your shot opportunity is measured in yards, not feet. A 2.75" shell is the standard for most upland shotguns, and the 1 1/4 oz charge is a field-proven load weight that balances recoil, pattern quality, and effective range without excess. At 1330 fps, these Express XLR loads deliver the velocity you need without the magnum recoil penalty.

You get 25 rounds per box, enough for a solid day afield or a range session dialing in your shotgun before the season opens. Remington's Express XLR line has been a mainstay in upland shotgun bags for good reason: these loads pattern tight and shoot clean, whether you're hunting over pointers, flushers, or your own boot leather.
