Kent Cartridge Ultimate Fast Lead 12 Gauge 2.75" 1 3/8 oz #5 Shot - 25 Rounds/Box

The Kent Cartridge Ultimate Fast Lead 12 gauge shotshell is built for upland hunters who demand consistent, reliable performance in the field. Loaded in 2.75" standard length hulls, these shells carry a 1 3/8 oz payload of #5 shot—the sweet spot for pheasant, grouse, and similar game birds where you need enough pellets for clean kills at typical hunting distances without excessive pellet energy waste. Kent's proprietary Diamond Shot technology prioritizes uniformity across each load, which directly translates to tighter, more predictable shot patterns you can trust when the moment matters.

These aren't bargain-basement rounds; every component is selected for consistency. Uniform pellets pattern better than mixed or inferior shot, and that consistency is what separates a clean harvest from a frustrating miss or a wounded bird. At 1475 fps, the Ultimate Fast Lead delivers respectable velocity without the recoil punishment of magnum loads—a real advantage during a long day afield when accuracy and follow-up shots depend on your ability to manage recoil.

Each box contains 25 rounds, so you get a practical field load that won't weigh you down but gives you plenty of shells for practice, scouting, or a full day of hunting. If you're serious about upland shooting and tired of watching cheaper ammunition produce loose, erratic patterns, Kent's commitment to shot quality will be noticeable downrange.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shells work in my 12 gauge shotgun?

Yes. The Ultimate Fast Lead is loaded in standard 2.75" shells, which are chambered in all conventional 12 gauge shotguns—pumps, semi-autos, over-unders, and side-by-sides. Always verify your shotgun's chamber length before shooting any ammunition.

What game are these best suited for?

#5 shot is a proven choice for upland hunting, particularly pheasant, grouse, and similar birds. The pellet count and size offer a good balance of pattern density and individual pellet energy at typical upland shooting distances.

How does the Diamond Shot technology improve performance?

Uniform pellet sizing and roundness produce more consistent patterns. Misshapen or irregular shot creates erratic pellet flight and loose, unpredictable groups. Kent's proprietary process prioritizes uniformity, so you get tighter, more reliable patterns shot to shot.

Are these magnum loads?

No. These are standard 2.75" shells with a 1 3/8 oz payload at 1475 fps. They're designed for traditional upland hunting without the extra recoil of magnum ammunition.
