Kent Cartridge Ultimate Fast Lead 12 Gauge 3" 1 3/4 oz #6 Shot - 25 Rounds/Box

Kent Cartridge Ultimate Fast Lead 12 gauge 3" shotshells are purpose-built for upland hunters who demand tight patterns and reliable performance. Loaded with Kent's proprietary Diamond Shot, these 1 3/4 oz #6 loads deliver the uniformity that separates clean flushes from frustrating misses. Whether you're working a grouse covert or hunting pheasant over dogs, the consistent shot placement these shells provide means more birds on the truck and fewer empty shell casings to regret.

The #6 shot size is the classic choice for upland game at moderate ranges — small enough for dense patterns on smaller birds, heavy enough to maintain energy on roosters. At 1300 fps, these loads strike a practical balance between velocity and pattern consistency, letting you focus on your lead and your dog instead of wondering what's going to happen when you pull the trigger.

Kent's commitment to premium components shows in every box. The Diamond Shot formula is engineered for uniformity, which translates directly to tighter, more predictable patterns downrange. That consistency is what separates ammunition that you can trust from ammunition that works some days and surprises you on others. For the hunter who shoots enough to know the difference, Kent Cartridge Ultimate Fast Lead delivers the reliability that keeps your season on track.

Frequently Asked Questions

What upland game is #6 shot best suited for?

#6 shot is the standard choice for upland birds like pheasant, grouse, quail, and woodcock. The pellet size provides dense patterns for reliable hits at typical upland ranges while maintaining enough energy for clean, ethical kills.

Will these 3" shells work in my 12 gauge shotgun?

These are 3" shells, so they'll function in any 12 gauge shotgun rated for 3" magnum ammunition. If your shotgun is marked for 2 3/4" only, these will not be safe to use. Always verify your firearm's chamber length before shooting.

What makes Diamond Shot different from standard lead pellets?

Kent's Diamond Shot formula is engineered for superior uniformity, which creates more consistent patterns downrange. This uniformity reduces shot-to-shot variation, helping you shoot tighter groups and place pellets where you aim.

How many shells come in a box?

Each box contains 25 rounds, a practical quantity for a day in the field or practice at the trap range.
