Deep Dive
Overview
This 12 gauge ammo is intended for turkey hunting where dense lead-shot patterns are preferred. The #5 shot size provides a balance between pellet count and individual pellet mass for common turkey setups.

This cartridge is designed for use in 12 gauge shotguns chambered for 3" shells.

The use of hardened lead shot reflects Remington’s long-standing shot manufacturing practices. The Power Piston wad was incorporated to help maintain pellet integrity during firing. Nitro Turkey loads represent a continuation of Remington’s approach to traditional turkey ammunition design.
