Kent Cartridge Elite Low Recoil Training 12 Gauge 2.5" 3/4 oz 1200 fps 8 Shot - 25 Rounds

The Kent Cartridge Elite Low Recoil Training 12 gauge shotshell is built for shooters who want to keep practice sessions comfortable without sacrificing performance. Loaded with a 3/4 oz payload of #8 shot moving at 1200 fps from a 2.5" hull, these rounds deliver enough energy for clay targets, light game, and high-volume training without the shoulder punishment of full-power loads. Whether you're breaking in a new shooter, running drills at the range, or working on technique, low-recoil shotgun shells let you focus on your sight picture and follow-up shots instead of managing flinch.

Kent Cartridge has been reloading ammunition for more than a century, and their Elite line represents a sensible middle ground between budget plinking rounds and magnum field loads. The #8 shot size is the standard choice for target work and upland bird hunting—dense enough for clean breaks on clays, fine enough for controlled patterns at typical training distances. At 1200 fps, this load is mild enough for youth shooters and recoil-sensitive adults, but still reliable in most modern 12 gauge shotguns.

You get 25 rounds per box, making it easy to grab a couple boxes for a half-day at the range or to keep a consistent load on hand for regular practice. If you shoot a lot and want to control recoil while building muscle memory and confidence, low-recoil training loads are a smart choice—they reduce fatigue, speed up follow-ups, and lower your total cost of shooting when you're focused on volume and consistency.

Frequently Asked Questions

What shotgun will these shells work in?

Kent Cartridge Elite Low Recoil Training shells are 2.5" loads designed for standard 12 gauge shotguns with 2.5" or longer chambers. Always verify your shotgun's chamber length before loading.

Are these good for clay shooting and training?

Yes. The #8 shot and 3/4 oz payload are the industry standard for trap, skeet, and clay target practice. The low-recoil design makes them especially suited to high-volume training where shooter comfort and follow-up speed matter.

Why choose low-recoil shotgun loads?

Low-recoil shells reduce shoulder fatigue during long range sessions, help shooters manage flinch, and allow faster target reacquisition between shots. They're ideal for practice, youth shooters, and anyone who wants to shoot more without the physical toll of magnum loads.

How many shells come in a box?

Each box contains 25 rounds, making it convenient to purchase multiple boxes for a full practice session or to stock up for regular training.
