Kent Cartridge built the Ultimate Diamond Shot Turkey load specifically for hunters who won't settle for mediocre patterns. The shell is packed with high-antimony Diamond Shot pellets that are engineered for uniform hardness and shape, which translates to tighter, denser patterns than standard lead shot. At 1200 fps, the 2 1/4 oz payload delivers the speed and shot count needed to seal the deal at 40-50 yards depending on your choke and setup.
The hardness of Diamond Shot pellets matters more than people realize. Softer pellets deform as they travel downrange, which spreads your pattern and wastes energy. Kent's formulation resists this deformation, meaning your pellets arrive at the target with more uniform spacing and deeper penetration. That's the whole point of specialized turkey ammunition anyway. Combined with custom-blended powders, these loads produce the kind of pattern consistency that takes the guesswork out of your shot selection.
The 3.5" shell length gives you payload capacity that 3" shells simply can't match. You're getting a full 2 1/4 oz of shot, which means more pellets in your pattern. The number 5 shot size strikes a reasonable balance between pellet count and penetration, making it an established choice for turkey hunting. That said, every shotgun and choke combination performs differently, so you'll want to pattern this load through your setup before the season starts.
Regardless of how good this ammunition is, your success depends entirely on how it shoots through your specific gun and choke. Take time to shoot this load at 30-40 yard targets before you hunt. You're looking for at least 100 pellets in a 10-inch circle around the vital area to consider a shot ethical at that distance. Your gun might like this load more than others, or it might prefer something different. You won't know unless you test.
No. These are 3.5 inch magnum loads, so your shotgun must be specifically chambered for 3.5 inch shells. Always check your shotgun's specifications before using any ammunition. Using the wrong shell length can damage your firearm and create a safety hazard.
With the right choke and after proper patterning, these loads are effective at typical turkey hunting distances around 40-50 yards. Effectiveness beyond that range depends heavily on your specific gun, choke, and how tight your pattern is. Always pattern your setup before hunting to know your actual range.
These 3.5 inch shells with a 2 1/4 oz payload produce significantly more recoil than standard 2 3/4 inch or 3 inch loads. Be prepared for stout recoil, especially during practice and sighting in. Consider shooting them from a bench rest initially to safely evaluate your setup.
Different shotguns, chokes, and ammunition combinations produce vastly different results. You need to know exactly how your gun shoots this specific load at your intended hunting distances. Patterning on paper tells you where your pellets land and how dense your pattern is before you ever see a bird in the field.
