Remington Nitro Pigeon 12 Gauge shotshells (brand part no. R28682) give wingshooters a dedicated dove and pigeon load built around pattern consistency at fast-crossing angles. Remington packs 1-1/4 ounce of #8 shot behind a Power Piston wad and launches the payload at 1300 fps using a specially blended high-performance propellant tuned for tight, even patterns. The lead shot itself comes off Remington’s own shot tower, keeping pellet roundness and density consistent from box to box. Built for volume field days, this 12 gauge load rewards hunters who want fewer crippled birds and more clean, ethical kills. Among Remington’s shotgun shells, Nitro Pigeon is the purpose-built answer for fast-flying upland and field targets.
