The Remington Express XLR Upland 28 gauge shotshell is purpose-built for hunters working through brush, timber, and grassland after upland birds. At 2.75 inches with 3/4 ounce of #6 shot, this load delivers the balance of velocity and pattern density that made the XLR line a field standard for decades. The 28 gauge is the thinking shooter's choice—lighter recoil than a 20, tighter patterns than a .410, and enough energy for pheasant, quail, and similar game when shot placement matters.

Each box contains 25 rounds, making it convenient to load your vest or bag for a full day afield. The #6 shot size is the sweet spot for upland game that demands precision; it generates sufficient pellet count for reliable coverage while maintaining the energy density needed at hunting distances. Whether you're a dedicated 28 gauge enthusiast or experimenting with the gauge for the first time, these loads represent the refined engineering that Remington built into the Express XLR family.

The 28 gauge has enjoyed a quiet renaissance among upland hunters who value efficiency over brute force. If you prefer a slimmer gun that handles like an extension of your body and patterns like a tack driver, this ammunition won't disappoint.
