Remington Nitro Turkey ammunition in 12 gauge (part no. 26710) loads a full 2-ounce charge of #4 shot in a 3.5-inch magnum hull, among the heaviest payloads a 12 gauge can chamber.

For spring and fall turkey hunters who want maximum payload behind every shot, this shotgun shells is built for exactly that moment.
