Remington Pheasant Loads, 12 Gauge, 2 3/4", 1 1/4 oz, 6 Shot Ballistics
2 3/4-inch shell • 1 1/4 oz of #6 lead shot
Product Overview
Remington Pheasant Load is a 1 1/4 oz, 2 3/4-inch 12-gauge upland load made for pheasants and hard-flying roosters. Remington puts lead #6 in it at 1,330 fps. At that payload and speed it carries more shot, and carries it faster, than the 1 1/8 oz game loads compared.
The charge comes to about 281 pellets of #6. Free recoil works out to about 35 ft-lbs in a 7.5 lb gun, and recoil scales with gun weight, so the light guns upland hunters carry push that figure higher.
If you're cross-shopping, Kent Ultimate Fast Lead 1 3/8 oz #6 runs 145 fps faster with about 28 more pellets. Winchester Super-X Heavy Game 1 1/8 oz #4 goes the other way, with about 152 pellets of the larger #4 shot at 1,255 fps.
- #6 keeps the pellet count up for close-flushing birds, where #5 and #4 are the late-season sizes
- A 2 3/4-inch shell, so chamber length never comes into it
- About 18 ft-lbs less recoil than the Kent Ultimate Fast Lead 1 3/8 oz #6 compared
- Lead shot, so it is out on state land that requires nontoxic shot for upland birds
- Remington names no plating or buffer on the shot, where Kent's Ultimate Fast Lead uses harder Diamond Shot
