Fiocchi Golden Pheasant Nickel Plated 16Ga 2-3/4" 1-1/8oz 1310FPS 5

Fiocchi Golden Pheasant Nickel Plated 16 Gauge 2-3/4 inch shotshells are built for upland hunters who appreciate the balance of the 16 gauge but refuse to compromise on performance. This load brings together speed, pattern density, and premium components to deliver decisive results on hard-flying birds like pheasant.

At the heart of this shell is a 1 1/8 ounce payload of #5 nickel-plated lead shot. Each pellet is hardened and coated to resist deformation during ignition and flight, which translates into tighter, more consistent patterns downrange. That added structural integrity also improves penetration, giving you the knockdown power needed for tough birds that don’t come easy, especially later in the season when feathers are thick and shots stretch farther.

Driving this payload is a brisk muzzle velocity of 1310 feet per second. It’s a noticeable step up in speed that flattens trajectories and shortens lead times, helping you stay on target when birds flush fast and angle away. Despite that increased velocity, the 16 gauge platform keeps recoil manageable, allowing for smoother shooting and quicker follow-up shots when the covey erupts or a second bird presents itself.

Fiocchi’s Golden Pheasant line is known for its reliability, and this load is no exception. Clean-burning powders help reduce fouling and maintain consistent pressures, while dependable primers ensure reliable ignition in a variety of field conditions. Whether you’re hunting dry grasslands or damp morning cover, these shells are built to perform without hesitation.

Packaged in a 25-round box, this ammunition is ready for long days behind a good dog and miles of walking varied terrain. It’s a purpose-driven load that complements the natural handling of the 16 gauge, giving you a combination of control, reach, and authority when it matters most.
