Remington Nitro Magnum shotshells in 20 gauge (Remington part no. 20666) load a full 1-1/8 ounce of #6 shot for hunters who want magnum-level payload from a lighter-carrying gauge. Remington builds this classic buffered load around its patented Power Piston wad and a generous charge of shock-absorbing polymer buffer, protecting the specially hardened shot all the way down the barrel for dense, even patterns. The 2-3/4 inch hull keeps the shell running in any standard 20 gauge, while the 1175 fps velocity and #6 shot size cover small game and upland birds with authority. Boxed 25 to a carton, it is priced for a full season of field use. This shotgun shells lineup has been a hunting-camp staple for generations.
