Remington Nitro Turkey Upland 12 Gauge 2.75" 1 1/2 oz #5 Shot - 10 Rounds/Box

The Remington Nitro Turkey Upland 12 gauge 2.75" shotshell is built for hunters pursuing turkeys and upland game who want proven, hard-hitting performance without the premium price tag of copper-plated ammunition. Each box contains 10 rounds loaded with 1 1/2 oz of #5 shot—a classic turkey and upland load that delivers the density and energy needed for consistent, clean kills at effective ranges. Remington's extra-hard lead shot is engineered to resist deformation during firing, maintaining pellet integrity through the barrel and downrange for tighter, more reliable patterns than softer shot designs.

What sets Nitro Turkey loads apart is their manufacturing philosophy: Remington's hardening process creates shot that performs like copper-plated ammunition in terms of pattern quality and consistency, but keeps your cost per round down. This is the ammunition for hunters who understand that pattern density and shot hardness matter more than marketing hype. The #5 shot size is the workhorse for spring gobblers and upland birds—dense enough for lethal energy, sized right for clean pass-throughs without over-pelletization. Load your shotgun knowing you've got ammunition trusted by generations of turkey hunters.

Whether you're glassing the ridge at dawn or moving through brush behind a pointer, Nitro Turkey Upland gives you the ballistics and reliability to take your shot when it counts. Hard shot, proven design, straightforward performance—no frills, no surprises.
