1shortofpar Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Some friends and I have recently gotten into sporting clays and we were looking into some bulk ammo. I just picked up a Beretta AL391 and most of my buddies use pumps Moss500, Rem870, etc. Does anyone have experience with Kemen shells? I have heard from others that they are well made and I see their boxes(in trash cans) a good bit at different ranges we have around here. We would be looking at getting 10 cases of the following and splitting between 4 guys or so. Looks like 60$ a case shipped to my door Stock# Product GA Length Oz Shot Dram Equiv Vel Shot Size KMSU32 Kemen Super 32 12 2 ¾ 1 1/8 2 ¾ 1150 7.5 Thanks in advance for any advice/help.

ranger Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Kemen are good shells. You may want to look at Dicks Sporting Goods if you have one nearby. They are running a deal on Remington Gun Clubs for $5.99 per box if you buy a case (10 boxes) then a $1 per box rebate from Remington. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S391 Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 They come out of the same factory as Rio and a host of others (made by UEE in Spain). For the money they are a good shell but they are a little iffy in the winter... they use a single base powder and it doesn't burn as hot in the winter. I used to shoot a ton of the Rio's in the summer / fall then switch to gun club or top gun shells for the winter months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil G Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Kemen shells work great. I generally shoot the Sport 32 (1 1/8 oz. @ 1200 FPS) and the Extra 28 (1 oz @ 1280 FPS) for Sporting Clays practice and competition. Never had a problem...even in cold weather. However, I live in Austin, TX and generally shoot in Central/Gulf Coast part of Texas so it doesn't get that cold. Most of the guys I shoot with also shoot Kemen. A very popular shell in my part of the state. Phil G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my former trapshooting life I fired a lot of Kemens, they work great. Just don't plan on reloading the hulls because the primer pockets are too large to hold an American(rem, win ,fed) 209 primer. Hope this helps, Kirby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claysports Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Bought a hundred cases of Kemens when I could get them cheap. The 1oz was great. Low recoil. I did have a few funny sounding ones in the winter, but they didn't last long enough for it to be a problem. Good shooting to you- Christian Parker www.claysportsonline.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glockamole Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Shoot quite a bit of clays and run mostly 1 oz Rio's, Kemen's and Gamebore. Can't go wrong with the Kemen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkballedtarget Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 They are great shells! I would shoot a flat of them every now and again. Some times my Perazzi would double with them, but only once or twice per flat. I hope you enjoy them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
