Kent Cartridge

Kent Cartridge began in 1996 when a group of passionate sportsmen teamed up to develop high-performing but affordable non-toxic hunting loads after the national ban on lead shot for hunting migratory birds. Today, that legacy of innovative hunting shells makes Kent a favorite among shotgun enthusiasts across the globe.

GunMag Warehouse is proud to carry a wide selection of Kent Cartridge shotshells so you can find what you need at prices you can’t miss, no matter what you’re hunting. Be sure to check out our lineup of shotgun barrels, choke tubes, and stock upgrades to take your hunting game to the next level.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who Owns Kent Cartridge?

Kent Cartridge is its own, independent, privately owned ammunition company. However, it also has a sister company — Gamebore — in the U.K. that manufactures its proprietary shot, including its tungsten, bismuth, and Diamond Shot pellets.

Where are Kent Shotgun Shells Made?

All Kent shotgun shells are made at the company’s Kearneysville, West Virginia, factory, although its shot is manufactured at the Gamebore Cartridge Company in the U.K.

Are Kent Shotgun Shells Good?

Kent Cartridge has become a favorite of shotgun owners because of its commitment to quality. The company is a proud member of the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute (SAAMI) and adheres to all SAAMI specifications. Gamebore, which makes the brand’s proprietary shot, is also the U.K.’s only cartridge manufacturer to hold BS EN ISO 9001:2015 certification.

You’ll find a whole range of innovations in Kent shotgun shells that deliver unmatched performance and reliability. Whether it’s the precision steel in Kent’s Steel Dove 12 gauge ammo or the layered shot configuration in its Fasteel+ range, there’s no shortage of unique technologies and approaches to enjoy with Kent shotshells.

What is Kent Diamond Shot?

Diamond Shot is Kent Cartridge’s proprietary high-precision lead shot. While the brand’s waterfowl and upland bird cartridges are lead-free, you’ll find Diamond Shot in the Ultimate Turkey range of shotshells.

This technology relies on super-hard, high-antimony lead, which delivers a more uniform pattern than standard lead shot. That consistency can mean more lead landing on-target to take down larger birds.

What Size Shot Should You Use for Turkeys?

All birdshot uses smaller-sized pellets than you’d use for hunting deer or for self-defense, but because turkeys are larger birds, you should use something on the bigger end of the birdshot spectrum. Kent Cartridge’s Ultimate Turkey line typically uses no. 5 shot, which has a diameter of 0.12 inches, but some hunters prefer the slightly larger no. 4 shot.

It’s worth noting that shot size is not the only factor when choosing the right load for your needs. You should also use an appropriate choke. Generally speaking, XX-Full chokes are ideal for turkey hunting because they’re more restrictive, resulting in a tighter pattern at long distances.
