Fiocchi Golden Pheasant-Nickel Plated 12 Ga 2-3/4Inch 1-3/8oz 1250FPS 5

Fiocchi Golden Pheasant Nickel Plated 12 Gauge 2-3/4 inch shotshells are built for upland hunters who expect more from every shot. Designed with demanding birds like pheasant in mind, this load combines a heavy payload, premium components, and consistent performance to give you the edge when the flush comes fast and the shot has to count.

At the core of this shell is a 1 3/8 ounce payload of hard, anodized nickel-plated lead shot in #5. The nickel plating strengthens each pellet, helping it resist deformation during ignition and flight. That means tighter, more uniform patterns and improved penetration downrange. When you’re dealing with tough, late-season birds that can soak up lighter hits, that added pellet integrity makes a real difference in clean, effective takedowns.

Pushing this payload at 1250 feet per second, the Golden Pheasant load delivers a balanced combination of speed and control. It’s fast enough to reach out on longer shots while maintaining a manageable recoil impulse that allows for quick follow-ups. Whether you’re walking field edges, pushing through thick cover, or working over pointing dogs, this load gives you the consistency you need to stay effective throughout the hunt.

Fiocchi’s attention to detail shows in every component. The 16 mm brass height provides reliable extraction and durability, while the carefully selected powder blend burns clean and consistent. Each shell is engineered to perform in real hunting conditions, from dry fields to damp morning cover, ensuring dependable ignition and uniform ballistics shot after shot.

This is a purpose-built upland load, tailored specifically for pheasant but versatile enough for other game birds where a heavier payload and strong downrange energy are required. It’s not about compromise—it’s about maximizing your effectiveness in the field with a load that’s built to perform when opportunities are brief and margins are tight.
