I was finally able to get my hands on a few flats and ran 150 of them through my 1875 era Scottish hammergun last night. All I can say is that they are fantastic! I thought that the 3/4 oz. and no choke would let me down but I was wrong. I was shooting sporting clays and did not find a presentation I could not break. Nothing over 40 yards though. For sure my new go-to round for my short chambered English guns.

I agree with Blue Grouse. I have just ordered another 3 flats. Great ammo. Breaks anything on the sporting clay courses in my area.

Blue Grouse & RichardBrewster, if you don't mind me asking where did you buy your Kent shells from? Looking back through the thread its hard to ascertain the source for the shells. Is it directly from Kent?

Thanks in advance!

I got it from Huntstuff.com. They are in Virginia. Shipped it came to about $73 or so per flat.

I purchased mine from the local sporting clays course near Calgary and I believe that they are sold out, so not much help there. I think that they ordered around 40 cases and they were gone in a couple of weeks. Yesterday, I spoke with the Canadian distributor and he indicated that they were also sold out of the first order that they received, which was part of the first production run on these shells made in the USA. He said they were waiting for another production run in order to get more in stock. The implication being that the US distributor is also out of them at the moment...
I certainly hope that this was not an experiment and they become a staple item for Kent to produce!
The other 2.5" shells we can get in Canada are $25.00 a box, so way too expensive to burn up on clays...
