Remington Nitro Magnum 20 Gauge Buffered Shotgun Ammunition

Remington Nitro Magnum 20 gauge buffered shotgun ammunition brings reliability and consistent patterns to upland bird hunting and clay shooting. These 2.75-inch magnum shells pair shock-absorbing polymer buffering around the shot charge with Remington's Power Piston wad design to keep pellets traveling true through your barrel. The result is denser, more uniform shot strings—exactly what you need when you need your pattern to hold tight.

Built on Remington's legacy of quality shotshell manufacturing, Nitro Magnum ammunition uses specially hardened shot that resists deformation as it moves down the bore. This durability translates to more predictable patterns and better knockdown on game. Whether you're working birds over dogs or swinging on crossing targets, you're getting ammunition engineered to deliver where it counts.

Each box of 25 rounds comes loaded with 1 1/8 oz of No. 4 shot, a versatile choice for medium-range hunting and sport shooting. The 1175 fps muzzle velocity hits the sweet spot between recoil management and effective range, making these shells comfortable to shoot in a day-long session without giving up performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the buffering in Nitro Magnum shells?

These shells use a shock-absorbing polymer buffering material packed around the shot charge. The buffering cushions pellets during firing and travel down the barrel, protecting them from deformation and helping maintain denser, more uniform patterns downrange.

What is the Power Piston wad?

The Power Piston wad is Remington's patented wad design that surrounds the shot charge and keeps pellets traveling as a cohesive unit through the barrel, contributing to tighter, more predictable patterns.

Is No. 4 shot good for upland bird hunting?

Yes. No. 4 shot is a popular choice for medium-range upland hunting, offering a balance of pellet count and energy. It's also well-suited for clay shooting and sport applications.

Will these shells work in my 20 gauge shotgun?

These are 2.75-inch 20 gauge shells. Check your shotgun's chamber to confirm it accepts 2.75-inch ammunition before using them. Do not force shells into a gun with a different chamber specification.
