Kent Ammo

[h2ofowlr]

If you hunt almost everyday of the season you can go through a few cases.  109 day season.

I shoot a lot of them too. 3 inch #2 for ducks and the 1625 3 1/2 #2 for geese.

I usually hunt everything with steel, upland birds and waterfowl.  If you take out kids and friends it is easy to go through the shells.  I like kent fasteel been using it for ahwhile. I also like winchester and remington loads.  I use a choke and I can make the cheap ammo kill ducks too.

yelp....  What size steel are you using for upland birds ?

[h2ofowlr]

I quit using the cheap shell.  Remington used to sell a 1 oz load.  If the birds were on the outside of the spread you would hear the pellets hit the bird.  It would push the bird side ways and then keep flying.  Finished up the case I had purchased for swatter loads for wounded birds and trap shooting.

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!

Kent Fasteel™ is THE BEST STEEL LOAD AVAILABLE IMHO. It is high performance ammunition at a very reasonable price. It's the only steel ammo my son & I use for waterfowling.

I use Kent for upland where steel is required. Hunting trips for ducks and geese are pricey with the cost of gas and lodging and the 300 mile round trips, so I usually go with hevishot/hevisteel.

Garbage  . I think you would do much better looking at winchester or remingtons. Maybe a buck or two more a box. . . . money well spent. just my

Why do you say "garbage"? 

[h2ofowlr]

I've shot plenty of Winchester, Remington, Federal, Fiocchi, Hevi-Shot and Bismuth.  For the price Kent is money.  I get the best pattern out of my Benelli SBEII and it is leathal on the birds.  I don't shoot the more expensive ammo as I am not shooting the farther distances where it may be noticably different.  I don't loose many birds and have minimal crippling with the Kent.  Why change?  Good shells to try.  I try to use the same load all season, so you have your lead, pattern and speed down.  This helps tremendously on the accuracy side as well, on the one factory you can control.

Kent Fasteel is by far the best load out there for the price from quail to geese....I hunt almost everyday of the season and I'm shooting them almost every time......2 /34" #4's for ducks..and 3" 1/8 BB/2 for geese and 3rd shell late season green

I love the 4's for pheasants as well


don't even think about wasting your time with remington or winchester xperts (if shot size is over #6)

I've used it for a few years and as long I do my job it works great, no misfires, patterns fine and I like the speed.
