Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: What makes Fiocchi Golden Pheasant 12 Gauge ammunition ideal for pheasant hunting?

A: Fiocchi Golden Pheasant 12 Gauge ammunition is ideal for pheasant hunting due to its powerful 3" shell length, 1.75 oz payload of #6 nickel-plated shot, and high velocity of 1200 fps. This combination provides excellent range, pattern density, and knockdown power needed for pheasants. The nickel-plated shot resists deformation, maintaining better patterns and penetration.

Q: Can this ammunition be used for hunting other game birds?

A: Yes, while primarily designed for pheasants, this Fiocchi Golden Pheasant ammunition is also effective for other upland game birds like grouse, quail, and chukar. The #6 shot size is versatile enough for various medium-sized game birds. However, always check local hunting regulations regarding shot size and type for specific game species.

Q: What is the advantage of nickel-plated shot in this ammunition?

A: The nickel-plated shot in Fiocchi Golden Pheasant ammunition offers several advantages. It resists deformation better than plain lead shot, maintaining a more uniform shape during firing. This results in tighter patterns, improved velocity retention, and better penetration at longer ranges. The harder nickel coating also reduces lead fouling in the barrel.

Q: How many rounds are in a box and case of this ammunition?

A: Each box of Fiocchi Golden Pheasant 12 Gauge 3" ammunition contains 25 rounds. A full case consists of 10 boxes, totaling 250 rounds of ammunition.

Q: Is this ammunition suitable for all 12 gauge shotguns?

A: While this ammunition is high-quality, it's not suitable for all 12 gauge shotguns. It should only be used in shotguns chambered for 3" shells. Using 3" shells in a shotgun chambered for 2.75" can be dangerous. Always check your shotgun's chamber length and consult the manufacturer's guidelines before using this ammunition.
