Kent Cartridge Ultimate Fast Lead 12 Gauge 3-inch #6 shot shells (Kent part no. K123UFL506) are built for upland hunters who need a heavy payload and tight patterns to close the deal on late-season birds. Kent Cartridge loads Ultimate Fast Lead with its proprietary Diamond Shot, a highly polished pellet that is harder than standard lead for better pattern uniformity and energy transfer. The 3-inch hull carries a full 1-3/4 ounce payload of #6 shot, giving hunters plenty of pellets on target from small game through wary, late-season pheasant. This is a premium upland load for hunters who refuse to let their ammunition be the reason a bird gets away.
Key Specifications
- The gauge is 12 gauge, the most versatile and widely available shotgun bore for upland and small game.
- The hull length is 3 inches, giving room for a heavier shot charge and more powder than a standard 2.75-inch shell.
- Shot size is #6, a solid all-around choice for pheasant, grouse, and similarly sized upland birds.
- The payload uses Kent’s proprietary Diamond Shot, a highly polished pellet harder than standard lead.
- Harder shot resists deformation as it travels down the barrel, staying rounder than standard soft lead.
- That retained roundness produces tighter, more consistent patterns downrange.
- Each box holds 25 shells, a standard field-day count for upland hunters.
- Boxes ship 10 to a case, useful for hunters stocking up before the season opens.
- At roughly $1.29 per round, this shell is priced as a premium upland load.
