Remington Nitro Pheasant shotshells are designed for superior performance in the field. 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. With a 2 3/4" shell length and 1 1/4 oz of #5 shot, these loads deliver maximum pattern density and lethal energy needed to bring down tough upland birds like pheasants. The high-velocity 1400 fps muzzle speed ensures flat trajectories and hard-hitting performance at extended ranges.
