Kent Cartridge's Elite Steel Target line gives you a non-toxic option that doesn't compromise on performance. Whether your range requires lead-free ammo or you just prefer steel, these shells deliver the consistency you need for competitive or recreational clay shooting.
These shells are loaded with precision steel shot, meaning the pellets are uniform in size and weight for denser, more predictable patterns. At 1290 fps with a 1 oz payload of #7 shot, you get enough velocity to break birds at both close and distance presentations without excessive recoil. Kent uses custom-blended powders in each load, so you get shot-to-shot velocity consistency that matters when you're trying to dial in your lead and break targets.
#7 steel shot is a solid all-around choice for clay target work. It patterns densely enough to break birds reliably while offering lighter recoil than heavier shot sizes. The 2.75 inch shell keeps things manageable for semi-autos and over-unders alike. Steel has different ballistics than lead, so take a box to the range to get a feel for how your gun performs before entering competition, but you'll find these cycle reliably through most modern shotguns.
Kent engineered these with corrosion-resistant components and nickel-plated heads, so they stand up to different range conditions. The standard brass and primers are reliable, and the hulls work well if you reload. You get 25 shells per box, making this a practical choice for regular practice sessions or league nights.
Kent Elite Steel Target shells are designed for any 12 gauge shotgun rated for steel shot, which includes almost all modern firearms. Older or specialized shotguns may have restrictions, so always check your manual or consult a gunsmith if unsure. Steel shot is slightly less forgiving than lead on some chokes, but most modern guns handle it without issues.
#7 steel offers a good middle ground for target work. It patterns denser than larger sizes, giving you better odds of breaking clays at varied distances, while still carrying enough energy for reliable hits. For pure skeet where everything is close, some prefer #9. For longer trap presentations, #7.5 or #8 might give slightly more reach, but #7 is versatile enough for most situations.
Absolutely. Many shooters prefer steel for practice regardless of requirements because they're lead-free and work well in target applications. Just be aware that steel performs differently than lead in terms of range, spread, and penetration, so take time at the range to see how your particular gun handles it before competing.
Kent loads these to tight tolerances with custom-blended powders to deliver consistent velocity shot-to-shot. The precision steel shot ensures uniform pellet size for predictable patterns. This consistency matters when you're trying to shoot tight groups and dial in your lead on moving targets.
