Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Remington Nitro Turkey load suitable for both spring and fall turkey seasons?
Yes. The Remington Nitro Turkey 12 Gauge 3" #6 load is well-suited for both spring and fall turkey hunting. The tight 80% pattern density and hard lead shot construction make it effective at typical turkey hunting ranges, and the #6 shot size is a popular and widely recommended choice for taking birds cleanly in any season.
How does Remington's extra-hard lead shot compare to copper-plated shot?
Remington's proprietary manufacturing process produces extra-hard lead shot that is nearly as round and dense as copper-plated alternatives. This results in tighter, more uniform patterns and reduced pellet deformation upon firing — delivering comparable downrange performance to buffered, copper-plated loads, but at a more accessible price point.
What choke is recommended for use with this load?
For best results with the Remington Nitro Turkey load, a Full or Extra-Full turkey choke is generally recommended. These constrictions work with the Power Piston wad and dense payload to produce the tight 80% pattern densities this shell is designed to achieve. Always verify choke compatibility with your specific firearm manufacturer before use.
