Frequently Asked Questions
How does Remington Nitro Turkey compare to copper-plated turkey loads?
Remington's proprietary shot-hardening process produces extra-hard lead pellets that are nearly as round and dense as copper-plated shot. As a result, Nitro Turkey loads achieve comparable 80% pattern densities to buffered, copper-plated competitors — but at a more accessible price point. For most turkey hunting scenarios, the performance difference is negligible in the field.
What choke tube should I use with these 3.5" #6 turkey loads?
For best results with Remington Nitro Turkey shells, use a dedicated turkey choke rated for extra-full or turkey constriction. These tighter chokes work synergistically with the Power Piston wad and hard shot to produce the dense, consistent 80% patterns these loads are designed to deliver. Always confirm your choke is rated for lead shot and your specific barrel before shooting.
Is a 2 oz. #6 load enough for ethical turkey kills at longer ranges?
Yes — a 2 oz. payload of #6 shot fired at 1,300 FPS from a 3.5" magnum shell produces a dense pattern with enough pellet count and energy to ethically harvest turkeys at ranges up to 40–50 yards when paired with a quality turkey choke. #6 shot offers a higher pellet count than #4 or #5, increasing the probability of vital hits to the head and neck at moderate distances.
