Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: What makes Kent Ultimate Diamond Shot Turkey loads special?

A: Kent Ultimate Diamond Shot Turkey loads are special due to their high-antimony, super-hard Diamond Shot, which outperforms standard lead shot. This results in deeper penetration, tighter patterns, and enhanced knockdown power, making them a favorite among turkey hunters.

Q: What are the specifications of this Kent Ultimate Turkey load?

A: This Kent Ultimate Turkey load is a 12 gauge, 3 1/2" shell loaded with 2 1/4 oz of #5 shot. It has a muzzle velocity of 1200 fps and comes in boxes of 10 rounds.

Q: Is this ammunition suitable for all 12 gauge shotguns?

A: No, this ammunition is not suitable for all 12-gauge shotguns. It's a 3 1/2" magnum load, so it should only be used in shotguns specifically chambered for 3 1/2" shells. Always check your shotgun's specifications before using this ammunition.

Q: What is the effective range of this turkey load?

A: While the exact effective range can vary based on choke and individual firearm performance, Kent Ultimate Turkey loads are designed for extended-range turkey hunting. The combination of Diamond Shot and high velocity (1200 fps) allows for effective shots at distances typically up to 50-60 yards, depending on the shooter's skill and equipment.

Q: How does the recoil of this load compare to standard 12 gauge shells?

A: Due to its 3 1/2" length and heavy 2 1/4 oz payload, this load will produce significantly more recoil than standard 2 3/4" or even 3" 12 gauge shells. Hunters should be prepared for stout recoil, especially when practicing or sighting in their shotguns.

Q: Can this ammunition be used for hunting other game besides turkeys?

A: While primarily designed for turkey hunting, this load can be effective for other large game birds at appropriate ranges. However, it may be overpowered for smaller game. Always check local hunting regulations regarding ammunition requirements for different game species.
