Kent Cartridge Ultimate Fast Lead 12 Gauge 2.75-inch #5 shot shells (Kent part no. K122UFL405) give upland hunters a high-velocity, hard-hitting field load for the standard-length shell. Kent Cartridge loads Ultimate Fast Lead with its proprietary Diamond Shot, a highly polished pellet harder than standard lead for unmatched pattern uniformity. The 1-3/8 ounce payload of #5 shot leaves the muzzle at a brisk 1,475 feet per second, giving hunters extra reach and knockdown power on pheasant and other mixed-bag upland birds. This is a versatile, harder-hitting load for hunters who want more from a standard 2.75-inch shell.
