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. Diamond Shot in #6 runs 1,475 fps, the smallest shot of the three Kent upland shells. Kent loads the same charge weight in #5, so pellet size is the choice to make inside this payload.

About 309 pellets of #6 fill it, the highest count of the three Kent shells compared. Free recoil is about 53 ft-lbs in a 7.5 lb gun, which puts all three Kent upland shells within about 4 ft-lbs of each other.

If you're cross-shopping, the #5 Ultimate Fast Lead is this shell with about 75 fewer, heavier pellets at the same speed. Remington Pheasant Load 1 1/4 oz #6 keeps the pellet size and carries about 28 fewer of them at 1,330 fps.

Strengths
  • #6 keeps the pellet count up on birds that flush close
  • Diamond Shot is harder than plain lead and carries no plating, so the pellets resist deforming on the way out
  • About 106 pellets more than the #4 shell at 1 1/2 oz, from an eighth of an ounce less shot
Limitations
  • Lead shot, so upland ground with a nontoxic rule on it is closed to this load
  • The #5 version matches it on payload, speed and recoil, so pellet size and count are all that separate the two
