Overview
The Remington Nitro Turkey shotgun ammunition is engineered for dedicated turkey hunters who require consistent pattern density and terminal performance without the premium cost associated with copper-plated or buffered loads. This 20 Gauge offering integrates specific component technologies to optimize payload delivery at extended effective ranges.
Key Features
Advanced Shot Composition
Nitro Turkey loads utilize Remington’s proprietary extra-hard lead shot. A unique manufacturing process ensures the shot achieves a hardness and spherical consistency comparable to copper-plated shot, which contributes to reduced deformation and improved pattern uniformity downrange.
Optimized Pattern Density
Designed to deliver an 80% pattern density, these loads provide a concentrated shot column for increased lethality on target. This performance level is achieved efficiently, offering a viable, cost-effective alternative to more expensive copper-plated and buffered ammunition without compromising field efficacy.
Precision Propulsion System
Each shell incorporates Remington’s specially blended powder recipe, calibrated for consistent velocity and pressure curves. The advanced Power Piston one-piece wad system is crucial for protecting the shot column during its passage through the bore, further contributing to tighter patterns and efficient energy transfer.
Terminal Performance
Delivering a substantial 1 7/8 oz payload at a muzzle velocity of 1185 feet per second, the Nitro Turkey load ensures outstanding knockdown power. This combination of velocity, payload weight, and dense pattern effectively mitigates target resilience at practical turkey hunting distances.
