Kent Fasteel 2.0 12ga 3.5" 1-3/8oz #3 Shot Waterfowl Shells

Kent Cartridge's Fasteel 2.0 delivers consistent steel shot performance for waterfowl hunters demanding reliable knockdown power. This 12-gauge 3.5-inch load pushes 1-3/8 ounces of precision-sized #3 steel shot at velocities that maximize effective range while maintaining tight patterns.

What Makes This Different

Fasteel 2.0 ammunition incorporates Kent's advanced wad design and powder formulation to reduce felt recoil compared to standard steel loads while maintaining superior downrange energy. The precision-manufactured steel shot provides consistent pellet uniformity, resulting in tighter patterns and improved hit probability on waterfowl at extended ranges. Independent ballistics testing shows 15% better pattern density at 40 yards versus comparable steel loads.

Key Features

• High-velocity 1-3/8 oz steel shot load optimized for waterfowl hunting
• Precision-sized #3 steel shot provides optimal penetration on medium to large ducks
• Advanced wad system reduces barrel wear and improves pattern consistency
• 3.5-inch magnum shell length maximizes payload capacity
• Low-recoil powder formulation reduces shooter fatigue during extended hunts
• Corrosion-resistant steel shot performs reliably in wet conditions
• Premium brass-plated steel head ensures reliable extraction

Field performance testing demonstrates effective lethal range extends to 50+ yards on mallard-sized waterfowl when fired through improved cylinder or modified choke tubes. The #3 shot size strikes the optimal balance between pellet count and individual pellet energy, making it particularly effective on diving ducks and larger puddle ducks. Weather-sealed primers and powder charges maintain consistent ignition and velocity in humid marsh conditions.
