Remington SP166 Express 16 Gauge 2.75" 1-1/8 oz #6 Shotshells - 25 Rounds/Box, 10 Boxes/Case

The Remington SP166 Express 16 gauge shotshell is a classic upland load engineered for shooters who value tight, consistent patterns in the field. Built around a 2.75" hull loaded with 1-1/8 ounces of #6 lead shot and pushing a muzzle velocity of 1295 fps, this round delivers the kind of balanced payload that has made Remington's Express line a trusted choice for generations of hunters. Whether you're working through grass for pheasant, hunting smaller upland birds, or just spending time at the range, these shells combine time-tested performance with the reliability you expect from a major manufacturer.

The 16 gauge fills a unique niche in shotgun ammunition—it kicks less than a 12 but delivers more energy than a .410, making it ideal for shooters who want reduced recoil without sacrificing pattern density. The #6 shot size strikes the right balance for medium-range upland work, offering enough pellets per load to break down game cleanly while maintaining the kind of tight grouping that separates good shooting days from great ones.

Each box contains 25 rounds, and this product is sold as a case of 10 boxes (250 rounds total), so you can load your vest, stock your truck bed, or spend a full season knowing you've got consistent ammunition on hand. If you're running a 16 gauge and you've been hunting for the pattern and performance that older shooters swear by, these shells deliver exactly that.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best use for #6 shot in a 16 gauge?

#6 shot works well on medium-range upland birds like pheasant and quail. The pellet count is high enough for a dense pattern, and the size carries enough energy for clean, ethical kills at typical hunting ranges.

Will these 2.75" shells work in my 16 gauge shotgun?

These are standard 2.75" shells, the traditional length for 16 gauge. They will function in any 16 gauge shotgun chambered for 2.75" ammunition. Always verify your gun's chamber length before loading.

How many shells come in a case?

This case contains 10 boxes of 25 shells each, for a total of 250 rounds.
