Just announced, the new Hornady 20 gauge Heavy Magnum Turkey ammunition is a 3″ shell that uses 1 3/8 ounces of #5 nickel-plated shot. According to Hornady, the shot used has “…the thickest nickel-plating in the industry, which reduces fliers and keeps more pellets on target for dense patterns.”

The load uses a Versatite wad and is rated at 1200 fps. According to Hornady, hunters can use this to about 50 yards. MSRP is $17.81 for a box of 10.

    Now if Hornady will apply its VersaTite wad to a 20 gauge buckshot round using the largest pellet that will stack in two pellet layers, they will have another winner.
