Remington Nitro Turkey shotshells in 12 gauge (Remington part no. NT12H5) load a heavy 1-7/8 ounce charge of #5 shot for hunters who need dense, far-reaching patterns on a bird with a small vital zone. Remington manufactures this shot through a process that yields extra-hard lead pellets, patterning as well as costlier copper-plated buffered loads without the higher price. A specially blended powder charge and the advanced Power Piston one-piece wad push the payload to roughly 1210 fps and about 80% pattern density at effective turkey range. The 3 inch magnum hull maximizes shot count for the tight, consistent patterns a turkey hunt demands. This shotgun shells lineup is built specifically for spring and fall turkey woods.
