Remington Ammunition R28682 Nitro Pigeon 12Gauge 2.75" 1 1/4oz 8Shot 25 Per Box/10 Case

Remington Nitro Pigeon 12 gauge shotshell ammunition is built for upland hunters and clay shooters who demand consistent, reliable performance on fast-moving targets. This 2.75" load carries 1 1/4 ounces of No. 8 shot, making it a versatile choice for pigeons, doves, and other upland game where pattern density matters more than raw knockdown power. Each box contains 25 rounds, and the case format (10 boxes per case) makes it easy to stock up for the season.

The Nitro Pigeon line combines Remington's time-tested manufacturing with field-proven design. The load features a high-performance propellant blend that delivers consistent velocity, critical for maintaining tight patterns downrange. The Power Piston Wad—a Remington innovation—protects and cushions the shot column during the firing sequence, which translates to more predictable patterns whether you're hunting over open ground or through brush.

Lead shot from Remington's own shot tower ensures consistent pellet quality and roundness, reducing flyers and dead spots in your pattern. For competitive clay shooters, this translates to higher break rates; for hunters, fewer birds missed due to pattern irregularities. The 2.75" hull and No. 8 shot size strike a practical balance: enough pellet count for tight patterns on smaller, faster game, without the recoil penalty of heavier loads.

Whether you're running a bird dog through stubble fields or practicing at the trap club, Nitro Pigeon delivers the kind of straightforward, dependable performance that built Remington's reputation. It's the ammunition choice when you want to spend your time hunting or shooting, not troubleshooting ammunition quality.

Frequently Asked Questions

What game is Remington Nitro Pigeon 12 gauge ammo best suited for?

Nitro Pigeon loads are designed for pigeons, doves, and upland game birds. The No. 8 shot size provides a dense, uniform pattern ideal for fast-moving targets at typical hunting and clay shooting ranges.

What's the difference between No. 8 shot and larger shot sizes?

No. 8 shot carries more pellets per ounce than larger shot sizes like No. 6 or No. 4, resulting in a denser pattern. This makes it better suited for smaller, faster targets where pattern uniformity is more important than individual pellet energy. Larger shot is typically chosen for bigger game or longer-range work.

How many rounds come in a case?

Each case contains 10 boxes of 25 rounds, for a total of 250 rounds per case.

Can I use 2.75" shells in any 12 gauge shotgun?

Most modern 12 gauge shotguns are chambered for 2.75" shells. Always verify your shotgun's chamber length before loading ammunition—it will be marked on the barrel or receiver. Some shotguns are chambered for 3" or 3.5" shells and may function differently with shorter loads; consult your firearm's manual or manufacturer if you're uncertain.
