Remington Nitro Pheasant 12 Gauge 2-3/4" Copper Plated Shot Ammunition

Remington Nitro Pheasant 12 gauge 2-3/4" shotshell ammunition is built for serious upland hunters who expect their loads to deliver when it counts. These shells pair copper-plated lead shot with high antimony content—Remington's Copper-Lokt formula designed to maintain consistent round pellet shape from barrel to target. The result is denser, more uniform patterns and deeper penetration on tough, fast-crossing birds.

Whether you're working a hayfield in the Midwest or pushing through prairie CRP, Nitro Pheasant gives you the ballistic consistency and pattern performance that separate connect from clean misses. At 1300 fps muzzle velocity with 1 3/8 oz of No. 4 shot, this load hits the sweet spot for pheasant range and payload. The copper-plated construction resists deformation in the shot column, meaning flatter, tighter patterns downrange than softer lead alone.

These are field-proven rounds backed by decades of Remington's shotgun ammunition heritage. Grab a box of 25 for your next hunt, and you'll understand why Nitro Pheasant remains a standard among waterfowlers and upland hunters across North America.

Frequently Asked Questions

What shotgun gauge and chamber size does this load fit?

Remington Nitro Pheasant is a 12 gauge 2-3/4" shell, which fits all standard 12 gauge shotguns chambered for 2-3/4" ammunition (or longer chambers).

Is No. 4 shot the right choice for pheasant hunting?

Yes. No. 4 shot is a classic pheasant load size, offering the balance of pattern density and individual pellet energy needed for reliable kills on medium- to long-range birds. The 1 3/8 oz payload in this shell provides solid coverage across typical upland hunting distances.

What makes the copper-plated shot different from standard lead?

Remington's Copper-Lokt shot is coated in copper and hardened with high antimony content. This keeps pellets rounder and more uniform as they travel through the barrel and in flight, resulting in tighter, denser patterns and better penetration than softer lead.

How many shells are in a box?

Each box contains 25 rounds.
