Performance Characteristics
The copper-plated shot provides several advantages for the serious pheasant hunter. The plating reduces deformation as pellets travel down the barrel and through the air, resulting in denser, more consistent patterns at distance. This translates to cleaner, more ethical kills on wary birds.
The 28 gauge occupies a unique middle ground in upland hunting. It carries less recoil than a 20 gauge while delivering more shot than a .410, making it an excellent choice for hunters who value precision and control. Rio's Royal Pheasant ammunition is engineered to maximize the potential of this elegant gauge.
