Remington Nitro Pheasant Upland 12 Gauge 2.75" 1 3/8 oz #6 Shot - 25 Rounds/Box

Remington Nitro Pheasant Upland 12 gauge shotshell ammunition is purpose-built for hunters tackling tough, fast roosters in the field. This 2.75" load carries 1 3/8 oz of #6 shot at 1300 fps—a proven combination that delivers the pattern density and penetration pheasant hunting demands. Whether you're working a brush field or open prairie, these shells are engineered to keep birds in your pattern and down for good.

What sets Nitro Pheasant apart is Remington's Copper-Lokt shot technology: copper-plated lead pellets with high antimony content that stay rounder in the barrel and hold their pattern longer downrange. Harder shot means tighter clusters and deeper penetration on birds that can absorb punishment. That's the difference between a clean harvest and a lost bird.

Available in a convenient 25-round box, Nitro Pheasant is the go-to load for upland hunters who want ammunition that has proven itself in decades of field use. Load your magazine knowing you've got the density and energy needed when that rooster flushes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Nitro Pheasant 12 gauge ammunition good for upland bird hunting?

Yes. Nitro Pheasant is specifically designed for pheasant hunting. The #6 shot size, 1 3/8 oz payload, and Copper-Lokt pellet construction deliver the pattern density and penetration needed to bring down tough roosters reliably.

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

Copper-Lokt pellets are copper-plated lead shot with high antimony content, making them harder than standard lead. This hardness keeps the pellets rounder through the barrel, which produces tighter patterns and better penetration at distance.

Yes, this is a standard 2.75" 12 gauge load and will chamber in any 12 gauge shotgun. Always verify your shotgun's specifications and owner's manual before loading.
