Kent Ammo

[ctwiggs1]

Hey guys,

how do you guys feel about Kent ammunition?  I've been using Black Cloud but man the Kent ammo looks quite a bit cheaper!

It's definetly a lot cheaper, but at the same time you will get what you pay for.  I've never been real thrilled with Kent.  My buddy shoots it all the time but he couldn't hit the ground if he fell off a horse.  My personal favorite is the Winchester Xpress Steel.  Seems to fly true and hold to its pattern.  Not too expensive either.  Kill way more birds with that than anything.  If you like Black Cloud, wait til the end of the season and WalMart always has a ton of overstock.  The mark it at almost 1/2 off.  I bought 10 boxes of 31/2" BBB in February for $145.

I myself shoot Kent's and have never had a problem with them bringing down a duck or goose. Just my

I've used Kent's for years...I love em...  but it seem's about 1 shell outta 50 is a dud.

I can live with that ratio

I have been shooting Kent for years.  Very consistent, keep it dry and it will perform well for you.  I typically shoot the 3" #2's or BB's at the 1550 fps.  Shot over 3 cases of it last year at ducks.  I have another 4 cases of it sitting in my office.  Picked up 4 cases of Black Cloud as well to try out this season as well.

Don't like them.

[ctwiggs1]

I think I'll go ahead and buy a case then.  I want to start shooting 3 1/2".  My gun can handle it, may as well shoot it?

The difference is roughly $60/case, so it's worth asking about.

Thanks for the feedback guys!

Kent is decent stuff.  3 1/2 is kinda a waste in my IMO.  The stuff I've patterned didn't justify the cost.  I would suggest shooting 3" stuff in Kent for 75% of shooting and then getting some good tung alloy for the long range stuff.

I have been using Kent for years myself.  I love them.  I even tore a number 2 apart and compared the shot with a winchester X-press #2 and there was no difference in shot appearance.  I use 2 3/4 inch #2's shooting out of a blind, and 3 inch bb's pass shooting.  Can't beat them for the price.  Good Luck.  John

I use it all the time with no problems

[road.kill]

I use them. I have a case ready to go for this season. 3 inch #2's

I use it all the time and love it. I like the winchester as well though. Can't beat the price.

I'm not trying to be a Smart Ass but how does one go through 3 cases of shot shells in one season?   If you half as good a shot as me that's 190 ducks.  I average around two shells per duck and have done as high as 20 ducks per box of shells, I ususally have to cut my daily limit to just a couple of bird because I can't eat them fast enough to stay in the posession limit.
