Remington Nitro Mag

Anybody shooting the plain Remington Nitro Mags in #6? I have tried the Nitro Turkey in #5 and it was not bad at 25 to 30 yards. I think the #6s would be right on.

Thanks

I  do have some from a box of 25 and they will do the job but not as well as the fed FC in #6  for me.

I do not believe that they are copper plated but don't remember for sure.

My gun liked the #5's better for some reason. Again, that was at 30yds.
I had the best pattern with a tru-glo choke and #5's. I shot the 6's and the pattern was not as good as the 5's.
They are copper plated.

for some reason,I have never been able to get Remington lead to pattern for me no matter what I try

Thanks for the insight guys.  I think I will try them given the price relative the turkey specific loads. I will be hunting with my 10 year old and looking to be shooting 30 yards or less.  If they don't pattern well enough I guess they will make good crow shells.

In my Remington® SPR220 (Baikal® IZH-43) 20ga SxS gun; through Colonial Arms® .570" & .575" chokes, they pattern better than any Pb load from any manufacturer. The specific load I'm referring to is..........
• Remington® Nitro Turkey™ 20ga 3" Mag 1185fps 1¼oz #5 (NT20M5)

This is a buffered Pb load and the shot IS NOT copper-plated.

I also tried the Remington® Premier® Magnum 3" Mag 1¼oz #6 Cu plated Pb and it was ABSOLUTE CRAP in my three 20ga guns through 11 choke combinations.

My grandfather swears by the #6 nitro mags.  As long as I have hunted with him that is all he has ever used and he has killed many a bird.
