Remington Nitro Pheasant Upland 12 Gauge 2.75" 1 3/8 oz #5 Shot - 25 Rounds per Box

The Remington Nitro Pheasant Upland 12 Gauge 2.75" shotshell is purpose-built for hunters pursuing rooster pheasants and other upland game. Loaded with 1 3/8 oz of #5 shot, this is a proven platform for mid-range wingshooting where pattern density and sustained energy matter. Remington's Copper-Lokt copper-plated lead shot—engineered with high antimony content—gives you harder pellets that resist deformation in the barrel, fly truer through the air, and hold together longer downrange. That translates to tighter patterns and deeper penetration when your target is crossing an open field or flushing from heavy cover.

Nitro Pheasant combines Remington's decades of field-tested ammunition design with shot hardness that separates it from budget alternatives. The copper plating protects pellets during acceleration, reducing flattening that kills pattern density. For hunters who've built their season around reliable, consistent performance—and who understand that cheap ammo costs more in missed birds—this is a logical choice.

Each box contains 25 rounds, so you get 25 shots to pattern your gun, dial in your lead, and build confidence before opening day. Whether you're working dogs over prairie grass or hunting sloughs in early September, Nitro Pheasant is loaded to deliver the pattern and energy upland birds demand.

Frequently Asked Questions

What upland game is Remington Nitro Pheasant #5 shot best for?

This load is engineered for pheasant hunting and similar upland birds. The #5 shot size and 1 3/8 oz payload deliver the pattern density and energy needed for rooster pheasants at practical wingshooting distances.

What makes Copper-Lokt shot different from standard lead shot?

Remington's Copper-Lokt shot features a copper plating over lead with high antimony content, making the pellets harder and more resistant to deformation. This preserves pellet roundness through the barrel, producing tighter patterns and better penetration downrange than softer lead alternatives.
