Remington's legendary Nitro Pheasant loads feature Copper-Lokt shot with high antimony content for superior hardness, rounder pellets, and tighter patterns. 1-3/8 oz at 1300 fps delivers the penetration needed for tough pheasants.
For decades, Remington's Nitro Pheasant has been the choice of serious upland hunters who demand reliable, hard-hitting performance when the birds are tough and the shooting is fast.
Nitro Pheasant loads use Remington's proprietary Copper-Lokt copper-plated lead shot with high antimony content. This combination creates the hardest lead shot Remington manufactures, delivering three critical advantages:
These 12-gauge, 2-3/4 inch shells deliver 1-3/8 ounces of shot at 1300 feet per second—a velocity that balances recoil management with the penetration required to cleanly take pheasants at hunting distances. The #5 shot size provides the optimal balance of pellet count and individual pellet energy for upland birds.
