Southern Reserve Dove

Posted by Kent Cartridge Staff on Jul 10th 2026

Kent Cartridge introduces Southern Reserve™ Dove, a purpose built load designed for fast shooting and uncompromising performance on dove fields.

Built with high brass heads and Kent's proprietary Diamond Shot technology, Southern Reserve™ Dove is designed for hunters who demand consistency when the action is fast. Diamond Shot is graded beyond standard lead shot and polished through a proprietary process to create highly uniform pellets that deliver exceptional pattern consistency. Combined with balanced payloads and tuned velocities, Southern Reserve™ Dove produces dense, even patterns, strong ignition, and dependable cycling shot after shot. Whether birds are crossing hard, dropping into the field, or streaking overhead, it provides the repeatable performance dove hunters can trust.

Balanced payloads and tuned velocities deliver dense, uniform patterns that stay effective on fast, high flying birds. This is controlled, repeatable performance that holds together when birds cut angles and opportunities come and go in seconds.

Southern Reserve™ Dove stands apart as a true top shelf load. It is built for shooters who expect consistency, demand performance, and know the difference when it shows up on target.

Available loads include:
12ga 2 3/4" 1 1/8 oz 7.5 shot at 1350 fps
20ga 2 3/4" 1 oz 7.5 shot at 1255 fps
28ga 2 3/4" 3/4 oz 7.5 shot at 1300 fps
410 bore 3" 2/3 oz 7.5 shot at 1150 fps

A load worthy of the experience.
