Product Overview
Kent Ultimate Fast Lead is a 1 3/8 oz, 2 3/4-inch 12-gauge upland load made for pheasant, quail, grouse and chukar. Kent puts polished Diamond Shot in it, #5 at 1,475 fps. A 1 3/8 oz charge at that speed is the heavy, fast end of what a 2 3/4-inch shell holds.
About 234 pellets of #5 go into the charge. Free recoil is about 53 ft-lbs in a 7.5 lb gun, and that figure climbs as the gun gets lighter, which is the direction upland guns are built.
If you're cross-shopping, the 1 3/8 oz #6 Ultimate Fast Lead holds about 75 more pellets at the same weight and the same speed. Remington Pheasant Load 1 1/4 oz #6 is the lighter, slower shell at 1,330 fps, and about 18 ft-lbs softer in the same gun.
- #5 is the late-season rooster size, a step up in weight per pellet from #6
- Kent claims smooth cycling and clean-burning powder for the line, with no plating on the shot
- At 1,475 fps it is as fast as any upland load compared, tied with the 1 3/8 oz #6 shell in the same line
- Lead, which some upland ground under state management does not allow
- Kent names no hull or wad for it, so a reloader has nothing to go on for keeping the case
