Kent Cartridge Fasteel 2.0 12 Gauge 3" 1-1/8oz #2 Shot 25rd Box

The Kent Cartridge K123FS322 Fasteel 2.0 delivers consistent steel shot performance for waterfowl hunters demanding reliable patterns and clean kills. This 12-gauge load combines precision-engineered steel shot with advanced wad technology to maximize downrange energy transfer.

What Makes This Different

Fasteel 2.0 technology incorporates a redesigned wad system that creates tighter shot patterns compared to standard steel loads. The precision-formed steel pellets maintain their spherical shape better than soft steel alternatives, resulting in improved ballistic coefficients and retained velocity. Independent testing shows 15-20% tighter patterns at 40 yards versus comparable steel loads.

Key Features

• 1-1/8 ounce payload of #2 steel shot for optimal duck and goose performance
• 3-inch magnum hull generates 1,560 fps muzzle velocity
• Advanced wad design reduces flyers and maintains shot column integrity
• Corrosion-resistant steel shot won't deform in barrel or choke tubes
• Low-flash powder formulation for reduced muzzle signature
• Compatible with all choke constrictions including full and extra-full
• Sealed primer and crimp provide reliable ignition in wet conditions

Field performance data indicates effective lethal range extends to 50+ yards on large ducks and geese when paired with appropriate choke tubes. The #2 shot size provides the ideal balance between pellet count and individual pellet energy for medium to large waterfowl. Consistent ignition and burn rates maintain shot-to-shot velocity spreads within 25 fps standard deviation.
