Kent Cartridge E12Lb248 Elite 12Gauge 2.75" 7/8Oz 8Shot 25 Per Bx

Kent Cartridge Elite 12-gauge 2.75" low-recoil shotshell ammunition is built for shooters who want manageable kick without sacrificing reliable performance. Whether you're training high-volume at the range, introducing new shooters to shotguns, or running vintage firearms that prefer moderate pressures, these 7/8 oz loads deliver consistent patterns and reduced felt recoil through Kent's custom-blended powder formula. At 1200 fps muzzle velocity, they maintain standard ballistics while keeping your shoulder happier—no trade-off required.

The 8 shot size works well for clay shooting and general shotgunning where you need a dense, forgiving pattern. Kent's proprietary Diamond Shot technology has earned a reputation for uniformity, meaning your point of aim stays predictable from round to round. These rounds are loaded at moderate pressure, making them genuinely safe in older shotguns and side-by-sides where full-power loads aren't appropriate. Brass-colored casings help you spot empties at the range or in the field.

Serious shooters and trainers reach for reduced-recoil loads when volume matters—whether it's your third hundred rounds of the day or helping a kid or spouse find their confidence behind a gun. Kent's Elite line doesn't cut corners to drop the kick; the engineering is there. Box of 25.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will Kent Elite low-recoil shotshells work in my vintage shotgun?

Yes. These are loaded at moderate pressures specifically to be safe in older shotguns, side-by-sides, and other vintage firearms where standard or magnum loads aren't appropriate. Always consult your shotgun's manual if available.

What's the difference between 8 shot and other shot sizes?

8 shot is a smaller pellet size that creates a denser, more forgiving pattern—ideal for clay shooting and general shotgunning at closer to medium ranges. It's a popular choice for training and high-volume shooting because misses are less costly.

Are these good for high-volume training days?

Absolutely. The reduced recoil means less fatigue and soreness after shooting 100+ rounds, which helps you focus on form and sight picture. Many trainers and serious clay shooters use low-recoil loads for high-volume practice sessions.

What is Diamond Shot?

Diamond Shot is Kent Cartridge's proprietary shot pellet technology, designed to produce consistent, uniform patterns from round to round. This consistency is what keeps you on target across a full box.
