Kent Cartridge Ultimate Fast Lead 12 Gauge 2.75" 1 1/2 oz 5 Shot - 25 Rounds/Box

Kent Cartridge Ultimate Fast Lead 12 gauge shotshell ammunition is built for upland hunters who demand consistent performance in the field. Loaded with Kent's proprietary Diamond Shot, these 2.75" shells deliver uniform pellet quality and tight, reliable patterns shot after shot. Whether you're working through early-season birds or chasing wary late-season flocks, this 1 1/2 oz, 5-shot load gives you the energy transfer and accuracy that separates clean kills from frustration.

Diamond Shot is harder and more polished than standard lead pellets, which means better shape retention through the air and more consistent downrange energy. That matters whether you're hunting grouse, woodcock, or other upland game where every shot counts and your second chance might not come. At 1420 fps, you get proven velocity in a classic 2.75" hull that works in virtually any 12 gauge shotgun.

Each box contains 25 rounds, giving you a full day's worth of hunting without breaking into multiple boxes. If you shoot a lot or hunt multiple days back-to-back, buying by the case makes sense—stock up and spend more time afield.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will Kent Ultimate Fast Lead work in my 12 gauge shotgun?

Yes, the 2.75" shell length is the standard 12 gauge load and will chamber in any standard 12 gauge shotgun. Always verify your shotgun's chamber length before shooting.

What upland game is the 5-shot size best for?

Size 5 shot is a versatile upland load, commonly used for grouse, woodcock, quail, and other medium-sized upland birds. Your exact choice may depend on local regulations and hunting conditions—check your local game laws.

How does Diamond Shot compare to standard lead?

Kent's Diamond Shot is harder, more polished, and more uniform than standard lead pellets. This results in better shape retention in flight, tighter patterns, and improved energy transfer at the target.

How many boxes should I buy for a hunting season?

That depends on how often you hunt and how many shots you typically take per outing. Each 25-round box is enough for a full day afield. Many hunters stock cases (10 boxes) to ensure they don't run out mid-season.
