The Remington Nitro Magnum 12 Gauge 3-inch #6 Shot (Remington part no. 20376) carries 1-5/8 ounces of lead shot in a 3-inch magnum hull, a payload built for upland birds and smaller waterfowl where a denser pattern of smaller pellets outperforms a heavier load of larger shot. #6 shot is a classic all-around upland size, small enough to pattern densely but still carrying enough energy for pheasant, grouse, and similar game at typical field ranges. This is a dependable, no-frills magnum load for hunters who want extra payload without the cost of premium shot materials.

Key Specifications

• Chambered for 12 Gauge, 3-inch magnum shells, so it needs a shotgun rated for that chamber length.
• Shot charge is 1-5/8 ounces, a magnum payload for a 3-inch shell.
• Shot size is #6, a classic upland size that patterns densely while still carrying enough energy for pheasant and grouse-sized game.
• Shot material is lead, denser than steel of the same size and standard for upland hunting where lead shot is permitted.
• This is Remington’s Nitro Magnum line, built around a heavier payload than a standard 2.75-inch shell.
• It ships 25 rounds to a box, a standard count for a magnum hunting load.
• Cost works out to about $1.62 per round, reasonable for a magnum lead-shot upland load.
• The smaller #6 pellet size trades per-pellet energy for pattern density, generally the better trade for smaller upland game.
• A full case runs 10 boxes (250 shells), the volume option for a full upland season.
• It cycles through any pump or semi-automatic 12-gauge shotgun rated for 3-inch chambers.
