Kent Cartridge Elite Low Recoil Training 12 Gauge 2.75" 7/8 oz 1200 fps 8 Shot - 25 Rounds

Kent Cartridge Elite Low Recoil Training 12 gauge shotshell is built for shooters who want to get serious volume downrange without the shoulder punishment. If you're breaking in a new shooter, running high-round-count training sessions, or shooting older guns that were never designed for full-power loads, this 2.75" shell delivers manageable recoil while keeping you on target. At 1200 fps with a 7/8 oz payload of No. 8 shot, these rounds use Kent's custom-blended powders and proprietary Diamond Shot design to produce consistent patterns and moderate pressure that won't beat up vintage firearms or sensitive shoulders.

Whether you're at the trap range, working through a defensive shotgun course, or introducing someone to clay shooting, low-recoil training ammo lets you focus on fundamentals instead of flinching. The 8 shot size patterns tight enough for wing shooting practice and close-range targets, and the moderate velocity is more than adequate for standard shooting applications. Kent loaded these at conservative pressures on purpose—that's the whole point.

You get 25 rounds per box, so a case of four boxes gives you a solid 100-round training block without breaking the bank or your collarbone. If you shoot a lot, shoot small-framed people or kids, or just prefer less recoil without sacrificing consistency and reliability, Elite Low Recoil Training shells are worth a serious look.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will low-recoil training shells work in my older shotgun?

Yes. Kent loaded these at moderate pressures specifically to be safe in vintage firearms. The 2.75" shell length is the standard for 12 gauge, and the reduced recoil makes them especially gentle on older actions and receivers.

What's the difference between No. 8 shot and larger sizes?

No. 8 shot produces a tighter, denser pattern than larger pellet sizes—ideal for practice, training, and closer-range shooting. The smaller pellets group consistently, which helps you dial in your technique and sight picture without the distraction of heavy recoil.

Can I use these shells for hunting?

These are designed and marketed as training and practice ammunition. For hunting applications, consult your local regulations and choose ammunition specifically recommended for your intended game.

How many boxes do I need for a case?

Each box contains 25 rounds. A standard case contains four boxes, giving you 100 rounds total—a good volume for a solid training session or regular practice schedule.
