Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: What are the key features of the Fiocchi Golden Pheasant Extrema 12 Gauge ammunition?

A: The Fiocchi Golden Pheasant Extrema 12 Gauge ammunition features a 3" shell loaded with 1.75 oz of #4 nickel-plated lead shot. It has a muzzle velocity of 1200 fps, making it ideal for pheasant hunting. Each box contains 25 rounds, and there are 10 boxes per case.

Q: Is this ammunition suitable for other types of hunting besides pheasant?

A: While specifically designed for pheasant hunting, this ammunition can be effective for other upland game birds and medium-sized game. The #4 shot size and high velocity make it versatile for various hunting scenarios where larger shot sizes are preferred.

Q: What advantages does the nickel-plated shot offer?

A: Nickel-plated shot provides several benefits: it resists deformation better than plain lead shot, resulting in tighter patterns and improved downrange performance. It also reduces lead fouling in the barrel and offers some protection against corrosion.

Q: How does the 3" shell length affect performance and recoil?

A: The 3" shell length allows for a heavier payload (1.75 oz) compared to standard 2-3/4" shells. This results in denser patterns and increased effectiveness at longer ranges. However, it may also produce more recoil than shorter shells, so shooters should be prepared for potentially stronger felt recoil.

Q: Is this ammunition safe to use in all 12 gauge shotguns?

A: This ammunition should only be used in 12 gauge shotguns specifically chambered for 3" shells. Using 3" shells in a shotgun chambered for 2-3/4" can be dangerous. Always check your shotgun's chamber specifications before using this ammunition.
