Remington Magnum Turkey High Velocity 12 Gauge Ammo 3 1/2" 2 oz #4 Shot 174 Pellets - 28039
Remington Magnum Turkey High Velocity 28039 is a hard-hitting 12 gauge shotshell built for turkey hunters who want maximum reach and pellet energy. Loaded in a 3 1/2 inch shell with a heavy 2 oz payload of #4 lead shot, this load is designed to deliver dense patterns and deep penetration on tough, late-season gobblers. The higher 1300 fps muzzle velocity helps extend effective range while maintaining lethal performance where it counts most, the head and neck area. Engineered for use in magnum-rated turkey shotguns, it provides the confidence needed when birds hang up beyond close range. Packaged in 5-round boxes and 100-round cases, it is a dedicated turkey load for serious hunters who demand power and consistency.
Features and Specifications:
- High Velocity Turkey Load: Delivers a fast 1300 fps muzzle velocity, helping extend effective range while maintaining strong pellet energy on tough gobblers.
- Heavy 2 oz Payload: Packs a massive shot charge designed to produce dense patterns and maximize hits in the head and neck area.
- #4 Lead Shot: Larger #4 pellets provide deeper penetration and retained energy, making this load effective for longer-range turkey encounters.
- 3 1/2 Inch Magnum Shell: Built for magnum-rated shotguns, offering increased payload capacity and pattern density compared to standard shells.
- Purpose-Built Performance: Designed specifically for turkey hunting, prioritizing consistent patterning and reliable lethality over general-purpose use.
- Packaging Options: Available in 5-round boxes for field use and 100-round cases for hunters preparing for multiple seasons or bulk value purchases at Target Sports USA.
Deep Dive
Overview
This Remington Magnum Turkey High Velocity load is built for turkey hunters who prioritize extended range and hard-hitting pellet performance. The 3 1/2 inch 12 gauge shell allows for a heavy 2 oz payload of #4 lead shot, delivering increased pellet mass and deeper penetration compared to smaller shot sizes. With a higher muzzle velocity of approximately 1300 fps, this load is designed to maintain energy and pattern effectiveness when birds hang up beyond typical distances. It is best suited for modern magnum turkey shotguns paired with extra-full or turkey-specific choke tubes, where its high velocity and larger pellets can be fully optimized for ethical, clean harvests.
History and Development
Remington Ammunition has been a cornerstone of American hunting ammunition for generations, producing purpose-built shotshells for specialized game applications. The Magnum Turkey line was developed to give turkey hunters a powerful option that emphasizes pellet energy, range, and confidence in demanding field conditions.
The High Velocity variant was engineered to push heavier lead payloads at faster speeds while maintaining usable pattern density. By combining a magnum-length hull, robust components, and carefully selected shot sizes like #4, Remington created a load aimed at hunters who want maximum reach and penetration. This design reflects the needs of experienced turkey hunters who understand their patterns and want added margin when birds refuse to close the distance.
Common Questions and FAQs
- Is this load intended specifically for turkey hunting?
Yes, it is purpose-built for wild turkey, focusing on dense patterns and deep penetration rather than general upland use.
- What type of choke works best with this ammunition?
Extra-full or turkey-specific chokes typically provide the best pattern density, though pattern testing with your shotgun is always recommended.
- Is this suitable for long-range turkey shots?
Yes, the 2 oz payload, larger #4 shot, and 1300 fps velocity are designed to extend effective range while maintaining pellet energy.
- Can this ammo be used in any 12 gauge shotgun?
It should only be used in shotguns chambered for 3 1/2 inch shells and rated for magnum loads.
- Is this ammunition lead-free?
No, it uses traditional lead shot and may not be legal in areas requiring non-toxic ammunition.

The 'Round Up'

Why It Stands Out:
When maximum range and pellet energy are the priority, Remington Magnum Turkey High Velocity stands out as a serious hunter’s load. The 3 1/2 inch shell packed with 2 oz of #4 lead shot delivers the kind of penetration and pattern density needed when gobblers stay cautious and refuse to close the distance. Pushed at a faster 1300 fps, this load gives you added confidence without sacrificing pattern effectiveness. If you run a magnum-rated turkey shotgun and want a hard-hitting option for longer shots, this round offers the power, consistency, and performance you need when that one opportunity finally presents itself.
