Fiocchi Golden Pheasant Description
A superior product of Fiocchi, the oldest and most revered firearms and ammunition manufacturer in Italy, Golden Pheasant shotgun shells loaded with nickel-plated shot are specifically tailored for the optimum pheasant hunting experience.

The excellent combo of high velocity and optimized payload which Pheasant loads offer contributes to enhanced lethality, ensuring ethical kills.

Fiocchi Golden Pheasant Additional Information
The Need for Golden Pheasant Ammo
To be successful at fast-paced upland hunting, one requires hard-hitting pellets delivered on target and with an authoritative punch. Fiocchi’s Pheasant shotgun shells fit the bill perfectly as they feature precision nickel-plated lead shot and innovative wads that provide the kind of consistent, optimized patterns and velocities needed to bring down birds that are challenging.
Nickel-Plated Shot Advantages
Nickel-plated lead shot is different from the typical lead shot as the coating allows the shot to leave the barrel of a shotgun a bit smoother. It also penetrates game better; tends not to get wadded up in feathers; and increases the odds of clean, one-shot kills.
Due to its unequalled penetration and energy transfer, Fiocchi Golden Pheasant ammunition is (arguably) the best shot for pheasant hunting.
Applications
While it is optimized for pheasants, these Pheasant shotgun shells that throw tight patterns of plated lead shot to knock down big birds are also great for waterfowl, grouse and other upland species.
The ammunition also works for sporting clays, trap and skeet shooting, especially when shot through firearms – such as Browning’s Citori 725 Sporting Over/Under shotgun – designed for such applications.
20 Gauge vs 12 Gauge
Though not as popular as the 12 gauge, 20-gauge ammo is still a great choice for hunting and target shooting. One advantage it offers is that it doesn’t contain quite as much lead, making it better for hunting smaller game than the 12 gauge. 20-gauge ammunition such as these Pheasant loads in focus also produce recoil that is more manageable.

“Excellent shotshells.`
I chose these shotshells due to their great rating. They are for my daughter who is just getting into pheasant hunting with her young English Setter. She will use these shotshells for her actual hunting (I think EVERY bird will be very safe!) and she practices with some Remington shotshells that are much less expensive. Uses a Remington 870 Wingmaster in 20 ga.”
