10 gauge turkey ammo separates casual spring hunters from those who pattern their shotguns at 50 yards and count pellet strikes on paper. The Remington Premier Magnum Turkey load—3-1/2″ shell, 2-1/4 oz of copper-plated #4 lead shot, 1,210 FPS muzzle velocity—delivers the payload density required for clean, ethical harvests when a mature tom hangs up outside 35 yards. This is the copper-plated lead shot that holds its shape through the bore and choke, resisting deformation that opens patterns and costs you birds.
Load Profile
Remington engineers the Power Piston shot cup to compress evenly under firing pressure, then release the payload in a controlled column that maximizes downrange density. Copper plating on each #4 pellet hardens the shot, reducing flyers and maintaining spherical integrity through turkey chokes rated .665″ and tighter. The 6-point star crimp opens cleanly; the Boxer primer ignites consistently in cold spring mornings.
