Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: What makes the Remington Nitro Magnum Upland 20 Gauge ammunition ideal for upland hunting?

A: The Remington Nitro Magnum Upland 20 Gauge ammunition is ideal for upland hunting due to its high-velocity performance (1185 fps) and heavy payload (1 1/4 oz of #6 shot). This combination provides excellent pattern density and knockdown power for upland game birds. The buffered magnum load ensures consistent patterns and improved performance at longer ranges.

Q: What is the Power Piston wad and how does it benefit performance?

A: The Power Piston wad is a patented Remington technology. It surrounds the shot charge and provides shock-absorption during firing. This protection helps maintain the roundness of the shot pellets, resulting in denser, more uniform patterns and consistent shot strings. This translates to improved accuracy and effectiveness in the field.

Q: How many shells come in a box and case of this ammunition?

A: Each box of Remington Nitro Magnum Upland 20 Gauge ammunition contains 25 shells. A full case consists of 10 boxes, for a total of 250 shells per case.

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

A: While this ammunition is high-quality and reliable, it should only be used in 20 gauge shotguns that are specifically chambered for 3-inch shells. Not all 20 gauge shotguns can safely fire 3-inch magnum loads. Always check your shotgun's specifications and consult the manufacturer's guidelines before using this ammunition.

Q: What type of shot is used in this ammunition?

A: This ammunition uses specially hardened lead shot. The hardened shot maintains its shape better during firing and travel, resulting in more consistent patterns and improved performance compared to standard lead shot.

Q: Can this ammunition be used for purposes other than upland hunting?

A: While primarily designed for upland hunting, this ammunition can also be effective for other hunting applications where its power and pattern density are beneficial. It could be used for predator control or certain types of waterfowl hunting where lead shot is permitted. However, always check local regulations regarding ammunition use for different hunting purposes.
