The Remington Premier Magnum Turkey 12 Gauge delivers devastating knockdown power for spring gobbler hunts with its high-velocity 1-3/4 ounce payload. This premium turkey load combines copper-plated shot with advanced buffering technology to maintain tight patterns at extended ranges where other shells fall short.
What Makes This Different
Remington's Premier Magnum Turkey ammunition features Power Piston one-piece wad technology that creates superior gas sealing and more consistent shot patterns compared to standard turkey loads. The copper-plated #5 shot resists deformation during barrel travel, maintaining pellet roundness for better penetration and energy retention. Independent testing shows 15-20% tighter patterns at 40 yards versus conventional turkey shells.
