Fiocchi Golden Pheasant Ammunition 28 Gauge – 2-3/4″ 7/8 oz #7-1/2 Nickel Plated Shot

The Fiocchi Golden Pheasant 28 Gauge #7-1/2 load is engineered for upland hunters who prefer dense patterns, smooth recoil, and consistent terminal performance. Featuring 7/8 oz of #7-1/2 nickel plated shot, this premium shotshell delivers excellent pellet distribution and reliable penetration for close-to-mid-range upland hunting.

Nickel plated shot maintains its round shape during ignition, resulting in tighter, more uniform patterns compared to standard lead shot. This makes the #7-1/2 load especially effective for early-season pheasant, quail, dove, and other upland birds where higher pellet counts increase hit probability without excessive meat damage.

Packaged in a box of 25 shells, Fiocchi Golden Pheasant 28 Gauge ammunition offers premium Italian craftsmanship trusted by hunters worldwide.
