Remington Nitro Turkey Ammo 12 Gauge 3" 1-7/8 oz #5 Buffered Shot

The Remington Nitro Turkey ammo in 12 gauge 3" delivers the pattern density and knockdown power turkey hunters demand without premium pricing. Loaded with 1 7/8 oz of extra-hard lead shot in #5, these rounds combine Remington's proprietary shot hardness with a specially formulated powder charge and advanced one-piece wad design to achieve 80% pattern densities at effective hunting ranges. If you're looking for reliable, affordable turkey loads that perform like much costlier copper-plated alternatives, Nitro Turkey ammunition gives you the ballistics and consistency to take your shot with confidence.

Turkey hunting requires ammunition that holds its pattern tight enough to deliver multiple pellets on target at distance. The #5 shot size in this 3" magnum load strikes the balance between pellet count and individual pellet energy—ideal for 20- to 50-yard setups where most turkey opportunities unfold. Remington's manufacturing process produces shot that's as hard and round as electroplated options, which means less deformation in flight and denser, more predictable patterns downrange.

Each box contains 10 rounds, making it practical to stock up for season prep and scouting before the opener. Whether you're setting up over decoys or hunting open ground, these loads deliver the consistent performance that separates clean harvests from misses in the field.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best shot size for turkey hunting with these rounds?

#5 shot provides the pellet density needed for reliable hits at typical turkey distances while delivering sufficient individual pellet energy for lethal energy transfer. This size is a proven standard for 20- to 50-yard hunting scenarios.

How does the pattern density compare to copper-plated turkey loads?

Remington Nitro Turkey achieves 80% pattern density—matching the performance of more expensive copper-plated, buffered loads. The extra-hard lead shot resists deformation in flight, maintaining pattern integrity similar to electroplated alternatives without the premium cost.

Will these 3" shells work in any 12-gauge shotgun?

These are 3" magnum loads. Your shotgun must be rated for 3" shells. Always verify your firearm's chamber length before loading—it should be marked on the barrel or in the owner's manual. Never force an oversized shell into a firearm.

What velocity can I expect?

These loads deliver 1210 fps at the muzzle, providing the speed needed for effective range and consistent pattern performance in the field.
