The KENT Ultimate FastLead 16GA shotgun shells bring reliable, consistent performance to the 16-gauge platform—a gauge that's found steady favor among upland hunters and clay shooters who value its balance of recoil and effectiveness. These 2.75" shells load 1-1/8 ounces of #6 shot at 1350 feet per second, delivering energy suited to game birds, small upland species, and recreational shooting. Whether you're working a covert for grouse and woodcock or running clays on a weekend, FastLead ammunition is built to perform round after round.
Kent Cartridge has engineered these shells for the kind of dependable ignition and consistent velocity that keeps your patterns tight and your confidence high. The #6 shot size splits the difference between tighter patterns for distant birds and sufficient energy for clean, humane harvest—a versatile choice for mixed upland conditions where you might encounter anything from close flushes to longer passing shots.
You get 25 shells per box, so you'll have enough for a full day afield or range work without breaking the bank. If you're running a 16-gauge and tired of generic surplus stock or inconsistent performance, these FastLead rounds are worth a serious look.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will these shells work in my 16-gauge shotgun?
Yes—these are standard 2.75" 16-gauge shells. Check your shotgun's chamber length (usually marked inside the barrel) to confirm 2.75" compatibility; most 16-gauges built in recent decades will handle them.
What's the #6 shot size best used for?
#6 shot is a middle ground for upland game birds, offering a good pattern density at medium range while retaining enough energy for clean, ethical kills. It's also popular for recreational clay shooting.
How many shells are in a box?
25 shells per box—a standard configuration that keeps cost reasonable while giving you enough ammunition for a half-day or full practice session.
Are these reloadable?
The supplied facts don't specify whether these are reloadable hulls, so we can't confirm that detail. Contact us or check the box packaging for hull composition and reloading suitability.
