Remington Nitro Turkey 12 Gauge 3" 1-7/8 oz #6 Buffered Shot Ammo - Box of 10

Remington Nitro Turkey 12 gauge 3" ammunition delivers the pattern density and knockdown power turkey hunters depend on when the moment matters. This load stacks 1-7/8 oz of extra-hard lead shot in a 3-inch hull, engineered to perform like premium copper-plated alternatives without the premium price tag. The buffered #6 shot holds its shape through the barrel, generating the 80% pattern density you need to seal the deal at effective turkey ranges.

What makes Nitro Turkey competitive with costlier loads is Remington's shot hardening process—their lead pellets come out as round and consistent as plated shot, which means tighter, denser patterns downrange. Pair that with a specially blended powder recipe and Remington's advanced Power Piston one-piece wad, and you get a 1210 fps velocity that produces reliable energy without over-magnum recoil. The buffering keeps pellets from deforming in the bore, preserving that pattern integrity.

Each box contains 10 rounds, making it an economical choice for patterning, practice, or hunting when you want proven turkey performance without overpaying for a brand name. Whether you're working a gobbler over decoys or hunting from a blind, Nitro Turkey gives you the confidence that comes from consistent, hard-hitting patterns.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is #6 shot best used for in turkey hunting?

#6 shot is a popular choice for turkey loads because the pellet count and energy balance work well for head and neck shots at ranges where turkey hunters typically set up. The harder Remington shot in this load helps maintain pellet integrity for cleaner, more effective patterns.

Is Remington Nitro Turkey comparable to copper-plated loads?

Remington Nitro Turkey is designed to deliver 80% pattern density and performance on par with copper-plated, buffered loads through its extra-hard lead shot manufacturing process, which produces pellets as round and consistent as plated alternatives. The main difference is cost—Nitro Turkey achieves similar patterning without the higher price of copper-plated shot.

What does "buffered shot" mean in a turkey load?

Buffering protects shot pellets from deforming as they travel through the barrel and choke, which helps preserve the tight, dense patterns that make turkey loads effective. The buffer material separates pellets slightly so they don't flatten against each other under the pressure of firing.

What gauge and shell length is this ammunition?

This is 12 gauge, 3-inch ammunition—a standard for modern turkey shotguns. The 3-inch hull allows for the larger shot payload (1-7/8 oz) and robust powder charge that turkey hunting demands.
