Remington Nitro Pheasant shotshells are designed for superior performance in upland game hunting. These 12 gauge shells feature Remington's own Copper-Lokt copper-plated lead shot with high antimony content, making it the hardest lead shot available for hunting. This results in shot that stays rounder, flies truer, and patterns tighter for greater penetration. The 2 3/4" shell is loaded with 1 1/4 oz of #4 shot, propelled at a velocity of 1400 fps. This combination provides maximum pattern density and lethal energy needed to bring down tough pheasants. With decades of success in the field, Nitro Pheasant shells offer the reliability and performance that serious upland hunters demand.

About Remington:

Remington Arms Company, founded in 1816 by Eliphalet Remington in Ilion, New York, is one of America's oldest and most renowned firearms and ammunition manufacturers. With over 200 years of history, Remington has been a pioneer in the industry, consistently delivering innovative products for hunters, shooters, and law enforcement professionals. The company is currently headquartered in Madison, North Carolina, and continues to manufacture its products in the United States. Remington's ammunition division is known for its high-quality shotgun shells, rifle cartridges, and handgun ammunition. Their Nitro Pheasant line, which includes the product featured here, uses Remington's proprietary Copper-Lokt technology. This process creates copper-plated lead shot with high antimony content, resulting in the hardest lead shot Remington produces for hunting. This technology ensures that the shot stays rounder, flies truer, and patterns tighter for greater penetration, giving hunters the maximum pattern density and lethal energy needed for challenging game like pheasants.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: What makes Remington Nitro Pheasant ammunition ideal for pheasant hunting?

A: Remington Nitro Pheasant ammunition is ideal for pheasant hunting due to its Copper-Lokt copper-plated lead shot with high antimony content. This results in the hardest lead shot Remington makes for hunting, which stays rounder, flies truer, and patterns tighter for greater penetration. The maximum pattern density and lethal energy are specifically designed to bring down tough pheasants effectively.

Q: What are the specifications of this Remington Nitro Pheasant load?

A: This Remington Nitro Pheasant load is a 12 gauge, 2 3/4 inch shell containing 1 1/4 oz of #4 shot. It has a muzzle velocity of 1400 fps. Each box contains 25 rounds.

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 of similar size. However, it's important to check local hunting regulations to ensure this load is appropriate for your intended game and hunting area.

Q: What is the advantage of using copper-plated lead shot?

A: Copper-plated lead shot, like that used in Remington Nitro Pheasant loads, offers several advantages. The copper plating helps maintain the roundness of the shot, reduces deformation upon firing, and can improve the overall pattern. This results in more consistent performance and potentially improved lethality at longer ranges.

Q: How does the recoil of this load compare to standard field loads?

A: The Remington Nitro Pheasant load, with its 1 1/4 oz shot charge and 1400 fps velocity, will produce more recoil than standard field loads. Hunters should be prepared for increased felt recoil, which is a trade-off for the enhanced performance and effectiveness on tough pheasants.
