Description
Remington's Premier High-Velocity Magnum Turkey loads take what modern turkey guns can deliver and push them further. These are built for hunters who've invested in refined, tight-patterning shotguns and want ammunition that matches that precision. With 1300 fps muzzle velocity and a full 2 oz of copper-plated shot packed into a 3.5-inch hull, these rounds generate the dense patterns that matter when your target is the size of a walnut.
Power Piston Wad Design Keeps Patterns Tight
The real technology behind these loads is Remington's advanced Power Piston one-piece wad system. This specialized wad keeps your shot column moving as a cohesive unit longer than standard designs, which translates to tighter, more predictable patterns downrange. The hardened copper-plated pellets resist deformation during the firing sequence and as they accelerate through your barrel. That means more round pellets flying true toward their target, not deflected or damaged before they even leave the gun. Combined with the specialized powder blend Remington uses, you get consistent performance shot after shot.
#4 Shot Balances Penetration and Pattern Density
The #4 shot size gives you the penetration power needed to reliably take turkeys at extended range while still maintaining reasonable pattern density. #4 shot holds fewer pellets than smaller sizes like #5 or #6, but the heavier individual pellets keep their energy better downrange and punch through what matters. Pattern your gun to find your maximum effective range, but these loads excel when you're confident in your setup and choke combination.
Built for Today's Turkey Hunting
These shells come in boxes of 5 rounds and are loaded with copper-plated lead shot, plastic hulls, and brass-plated steel bases. If you're running a modern turkey gun with a quality choke and you've patterned your gun at distance, these magnum loads deliver the knockdown power you need when it counts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will these shells work in my 12 gauge shotgun?
These 3.5-inch shells only fit shotguns specifically chambered for 3.5-inch magnum loads. Check your shotgun's chamber marking to confirm compatibility before purchasing. Using the wrong shell length can damage your gun and create a safety hazard.
How do I know what range these shells are effective at?
Pattern your shotgun using a turkey head target at various distances to determine where your specific gun, choke, and load combination performs best. Typically, these magnum loads are effective to 40 yards and beyond, but your actual effective range depends on how many pellets your gun puts in a 10-inch circle at distance.
What's the difference between #4 shot and #5 or #6 shot for turkey hunting?
Number 4 shot contains fewer but heavier pellets that penetrate better at distance compared to smaller sizes. While this means slightly less dense patterns, #4 is preferred for extended-range hunting where raw penetrating power matters. Many hunters choose #5 or #6 for a balance between penetration and pattern density at typical hunting ranges.
Can these shells be reloaded?
Yes, the plastic hulls with brass-plated steel bases can be reloaded. Always inspect hulls for cracks or uniformity before reloading, and follow proper reloading procedures and safety guidelines.
