The Remington Nitro Turkey 12 Gauge delivers devastating stopping power for turkey hunting with its high-velocity 1.5-ounce payload of #4 shot. This premium turkey load combines Remington's proven powder technology with precision-engineered shot to create dense, consistent patterns at extended ranges.
What Makes This Different
Nitro Turkey loads feature Remington's specialized powder blend that generates higher velocities than standard turkey ammunition while maintaining manageable recoil. The 1.5-ounce shot charge delivers approximately 20% more pellets downrange compared to 1.25-ounce loads. Each shell undergoes quality control testing to ensure consistent velocities within 25 fps, resulting in predictable point-of-impact shot after shot.
Key Features
- High-velocity 1.5-ounce #4 shot payload for maximum knockdown power
- 2.75-inch hull length fits all 12-gauge shotguns including semi-autos
- Premium copper-plated shot resists deformation for tighter patterns
- High-brass construction withstands magnum pressures and velocities

Field testing demonstrates consistent 40-yard patterns with 80% pellet density in a 30-inch circle when fired through improved cylinder or modified chokes. The #4 shot size provides optimal penetration for clean, ethical harvests on mature gobblers while maintaining sufficient pellet count for reliable hits. These loads perform effectively in temperatures ranging from 20°F to 100°F without velocity degradation.
