Description
Kent's Ultimate Fast Lead brings serious performance to upland hunting with a load designed around real field conditions. Each 2.75-inch shell packs 1 1/4 ounces of number 4 shot loaded to 1345 fps, giving you the energy retention and penetration you need when birds flush out of range or hold tight in late-season cover.
Diamond Shot Technology Keeps Patterns Tight
The real advantage here is Kent's proprietary Diamond Shot. These pellets are highly polished and harder than standard lead shot, which means they keep their round shape longer as they travel downrange. That translates into denser patterns and better energy transfer on target. You're not just buying velocity or payload, you're buying shot consistency that holds up when it matters.
The Right Load for Wary Late-Season Game
Number 4 shot is that sweet spot where the 12 gauge really shows its strength. You get enough pellets in the pattern for reliable hits without the overkill you might see with larger shot, yet the pellets carry serious energy even at extended ranges. This load works equally well on pheasants, grouse, and chukars whether they're fresh birds early in the season or educated birds that have already seen a dog or two.
Built for Serious Upland Hunters
Each box contains 25 rounds packaged with high brass hulls that feed reliably and stand up to repeated shooting. The combination of custom-blended powder and quality primer means consistent ignition and dependable performance in variable field conditions. Whether you're working in warm early-season weather or cold late-season mornings, these shells perform the same way box after box.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is #4 shot suitable for all upland game?
Number 4 shot is versatile for upland hunting and works well on pheasants, grouse, chukars, and similar game. It's particularly effective on wary late-season birds because the larger pellets carry energy at greater distances while still providing adequate pattern density. Your specific success will depend on your shotgun's choke, distance, and game species, so patterning before your hunt is worth the time.
What makes Kent's Diamond Shot different?
Diamond Shot pellets are highly polished and harder than standard lead shot. This means they retain their spherical shape better as they travel downrange, resulting in tighter, more uniform patterns and improved energy transfer at distance. The consistency between pellets is engineered to deliver reliable performance shot after shot.
Will these shells work in my shotgun?
These 2.75-inch shells will work in any 12 gauge shotgun that accepts 2.75-inch ammunition. That covers most standard 12 gauge field guns. However, always verify your specific firearm can handle the shell length and any choke tube restrictions before heading to the field.
How does the 1345 fps velocity compare to other upland loads?
At 1345 fps, this load delivers straightforward performance without excessive velocity that can sometimes degrade pellet shape and pattern density. Upland hunters often find that moderate velocity with a solid payload patterns more consistently than ultra-high velocity loads, especially in lead shot applications.
