Product Overview

Remington Nitro Turkey is a 2 oz, 3 1/2-inch 12-gauge turkey load made for turkey hunting. Extra-hard lead #5, loaded to stay round, leaves at 1,300 fps. Two ounces in the longest 12-gauge shell is the heavy end of what a turkey gun fires.

The payload holds about 340 pellets. Free recoil is about 82 ft-lbs in a 7.5 lb gun, which puts it among the hardest-kicking shotshells made. A load like this is built around a tight turkey choke.

If you're cross-shopping, the Nitro Turkey #6 is the same shell at the same speed with smaller shot, about 110 more pellets in the same weight of lead. Nothing else about the two differs, so the choice between them is pellet size against pellet count.

Strengths
  • Extra-hard lead shot, not the copper-plated shot it is often taken for
  • A Power Piston one-piece wad cushions the shot column on the way out
  • Lead is still legal for turkey in most states, though not on every piece of public land
Limitations
  • Needs a 3 1/2-inch chamber
  • Recoil scales with gun weight, so a lighter turkey gun hits harder still
