Fiocchi Golden Turkey hunting 12 gauge ammunition delivers the pattern density and stopping power turkey seasons demand. Each 3-inch shell contains 1 3/4 ounces of #5 shot—a proven load that balances pellet count with terminal performance on wary birds at realistic hunting ranges.

Fiocchi builds these shells with nickel-plated lead shot that patterns reliably and resists deformation in the magazine and chamber. The clean-burning powder minimizes fouling in your barrel, and the optimized wad design supports consistent velocity and shot cup integrity downrange. Ten rounds per box means you get enough to pattern your shotgun and carry a full complement into the field without overspending.

Golden Turkey loads are purpose-built for turkey hunters who understand that ammunition quality directly affects your success rate. Fiocchi has earned respect across North America for consistent, hard-hitting turkey rounds, and this 3-inch #5 load fits squarely in that tradition.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is #5 shot best used for in turkey hunting?

#5 shot is a versatile choice for turkey that offers a strong pellet count per load while maintaining effective range and impact energy. It's particularly effective for hunters shooting at 30–50 yard distances, the sweet spot for most turkey situations.

Can I use 3-inch shells in a standard 12 gauge shotgun?

Most modern 12 gauge shotguns are chambered for 3-inch shells, but you should verify your gun's chamber length before shooting. Check your shotgun's manual or have a gunsmith confirm if you're unsure whether your gun is rated for 3-inch ammunition.

How many pellets does a 1 3/4 oz #5 shot load contain?

The exact pellet count depends on shot density and alloy composition, but a 1 3/4 ounce load of #5 shot typically delivers 240–260 pellets. Fiocchi's nickel-plated construction ensures consistent sizing and reliable pattern performance.

What's included in each box?

Each box contains 10 rounds of loaded ammunition, ready to load into your shotgun magazine or chamber.
