Overview
Built for upland hunting, these 12 gauge shells are aimed at hunters who want a fast-moving load for small game and late-season birds. Kent pairs its proprietary Diamond Shot with a 1 3/8 oz 5 shot payload and a listed velocity of 1475 fps, giving the load a focused, high-performance profile without adding unnecessary complexity. The polished shot is described as harder than standard lead, which may suit situations where tighter patterns and increased energy transfer are desired. With 25 rounds per box, this is a practical option for a day in the field or for keeping a hunt-ready supply on hand.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- These are 2-3/4 in 12 gauge shells, so they’re limited to shotguns chambered for that length and gauge.
- The 1 3/8 oz load and 1475 fps velocity reflect a more specialized upland setup rather than a general-purpose field load.
- The box contains 25 rounds, which is enough for a hunt but not a high-volume practice session.
- Designed around Diamond Shot and tight patterns, they’re purpose-built for upland use rather than broad all-around shotgun applications.
