Rem Nitro Turkey 12ga 3in #5 10/100

Rem Nitro Turkey 12ga 3in #5 shot delivers the dense, consistent patterns serious turkey hunters demand when pursuing spring and fall birds. Built on Remington's proven Nitro Turkey platform, this ammunition combines magnum 3-inch shells with #5 lead shot—a balanced choice for reliable pellet energy at the ranges where modern turkey hunting typically occurs.

The 12-gauge 3-inch magnum format generates substantial shot volume in a single shot, critical for the tight, predictable patterns required in turkey hunting. #5 pellet diameter sits at the intersection of penetration and pattern density—larger than #6 or #7.5 field loads but smaller than #4 buckshot, optimizing for the head-and-neck target area turkey hunters focus on. A 10-round box allows multiple shots during a hunting day while keeping ammunition weight manageable in the field. Each round within the box is loaded to consistent specifications for shot-to-shot reliability.

This ammunition suits hunters using 12-gauge shotguns chambered for 3-inch magnum shells, particularly those hunting in regions where spring and fall turkey seasons run concurrently. The Nitro Turkey line targets experienced turkey hunters who understand the importance of load consistency and want factory ammunition that doesn't require hand-loading or ballistic testing. It performs across a range of barrel types and choke configurations, though pattern testing with your specific shotgun before season remains essential for accuracy at your intended shooting distance.

Turkey-specific ammunition has become increasingly specialized over the past two decades as hunters demand tighter patterns and higher reliability. This product sits in the mainstream commercial category—proven, widely used, and field-tested by thousands of hunters annually. Availability through TacticalSurplusUSA ensures access to established ammunition when seasonal demand is high.
