Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: What makes the Remington Nitro Turkey 12 Gauge ammunition effective for turkey hunting?

A: The Remington Nitro Turkey 12 Gauge ammunition is highly effective for turkey hunting due to its extra-hard lead shot, which maintains its shape for tighter patterns. The 1-1/2 oz payload of #5 shot provides excellent pattern density and knockdown power at turkey hunting ranges. With a muzzle velocity of 1260 fps, it delivers the energy needed for clean, ethical kills on tough turkey.

Q: How does the Remington Nitro Turkey compare to copper-plated turkey loads?

A: Remington Nitro Turkey loads perform comparably to copper-plated buffered loads in terms of patterning, but without the higher cost. The unique manufacturing process yields shot that is as hard and round as copper-plated shot, providing excellent performance at a more affordable price point.

Q: What is the effective range of this Remington Nitro Turkey ammunition?

A: While the exact effective range can vary based on individual shotgun performance and choke selection, the Remington Nitro Turkey loads are designed to deliver 80% pattern densities at typical turkey hunting ranges. Most hunters find these loads effective out to 40-50 yards when paired with an appropriate turkey choke.

Q: Is this ammunition suitable for other types of hunting besides turkey?

A: While primarily designed for turkey hunting, this Remington Nitro Turkey ammunition can also be effective for upland game hunting, especially for larger birds like pheasants at longer ranges. However, it may be overpowered for smaller upland game. Always check local hunting regulations regarding shot size and type for different game species.

Q: What is the Power Piston one-piece wad, and how does it benefit performance?

A: The Power Piston one-piece wad is a specially designed component that helps to protect the shot during firing and separate cleanly from the shot column upon exit from the barrel. This results in more consistent patterns, reduced pellet deformation, and improved downrange performance.
