Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: What are the key features of the Remington Nitro Magnum Upland 20 Gauge ammunition?

A: The Remington Nitro Magnum Upland 20 Gauge ammunition features a 3-inch shell loaded with 1 1/4 oz of #4 shot. It has a muzzle velocity of 1185 fps, making it a powerful load for upland game hunting. The shells come in boxes of 25 rounds, with 10 boxes per case.

Q: What type of hunting is this ammunition best suited for?

A: This ammunition is specifically designed for upland game hunting. The #4 shot size and high velocity make it effective for larger upland birds such as pheasants, grouse, and wild turkey at extended ranges. It's part of Remington's Nitro Magnum series, known for its hard-hitting performance in the field.

Q: How does the Power Piston wad benefit performance?

A: The Power Piston wad is a patented Remington technology that surrounds the shot charge. It helps protect the shot during its travel down the barrel, resulting in more uniform patterns and consistent shot strings. This translates to improved accuracy and effectiveness in the field.

Q: Is this ammunition suitable for all 20 gauge shotguns?

A: While this ammunition is designed for 20 gauge shotguns, it's important to note that it's a 3-inch magnum load. It should only be used in shotguns specifically chambered for 3-inch shells. Using this ammunition in a shotgun chambered for 2 3/4-inch shells could be dangerous and damage your firearm.

Q: What is the shot material used in this ammunition?

A: This Remington Nitro Magnum load uses lead shot. The shot is specially hardened and buffered to maintain its spherical shape upon firing, which contributes to tighter patterns and increased effectiveness at longer ranges.

Q: How does the recoil of this ammunition compare to standard 20 gauge loads?

A: As a magnum load with a higher powder charge and heavier shot payload than standard 20 gauge ammunition, this Nitro Magnum load will produce more recoil. Shooters should be prepared for increased felt recoil compared to standard 2 3/4-inch 20 gauge loads.
