Remington Nitro Magnum 12 Gauge 3-Inch #4 Shot

The Remington Nitro Magnum 12 Gauge 3-inch #4 Shot (Remington part no. 26684) is a heavy magnum waterfowl and predator load carrying a full 1-7/8 ounces of lead shot. The 3-inch magnum hull holds a substantially larger payload than a standard 2.75-inch shell, which translates to denser patterns and more pellets on target at range. #4 lead shot is a versatile size favored for larger waterfowl and predator hunting where a bigger, heavier pellet retains more energy downrange than smaller shot sizes. This is a straightforward, no-frills magnum hunting load built for shooters who want a heavy payload without paying for tungsten or bismuth shot.

Key Specifications

• Shot size is #4, a larger pellet favored for bigger waterfowl and predator hunting at extended range.

• This is Remington’s Nitro Magnum line, built around a heavier payload for hunters who want more pellets downrange.

• Cost works out to about $1.78 per round, reasonable for a heavy magnum lead-shot load.
