colorado bob Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 Anyone use or have pattern Kent "Ultimate Diamond". I have an old 870 that only will shoot 2 3/4" shells. Received a Cabela's flyer in today's mail & saw these shells. 2 3/4" have 1 5/8 oz of shot. Got a $25 gift card that I thought I might try them. But if someone had a bad experience with them, I pass & stick with Federal. CB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strut10 Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 I have not personally tested them. I have heard reviews on them, both very good and very poor........not unlike any other brand, really. Winchester makes the Supreme in 2 3/4" length with #4, #5 and #6 shot. It's a 1 1/2 oz. load at 1300 fps. I have shot some of these at paper and found them to be quite impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maytom Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 I've tried their 3" 2oz of #5's and they patterned great out of a .665 sized choke. Haven't tried their 2 3/4oz loads. Kent was the company bought out the old "Activ" shot shell company many years ago, and they use to produce those 3" 2 1/4oz Penetrator loads. Don't think you'd go wrong with trying those Kent 2 3/4oz loads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maytom Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Kent was the company "That" bought out the old "Activ" shot shell company many years ago. Whoops, left out the word that!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colorado bob Posted February 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 maytom-----That's what I was thinking. I used those Activ shells-----best shell I ever patterned bought every box the store had. But they ran out a few years ago & could never find anymore. Think I may stock up on these Kents. The old Activ shells had 1 3/4 oz of shot in there 2 3/4" shells. I used 4's, 6's & 4x6-----smoked them gobblers. CB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
