The Kent Cartridge Fasteel 2.0 delivers consistent steel shot performance for waterfowl hunters demanding reliable patterns and clean knockdowns. This 12 gauge load combines precision-engineered steel pellets with advanced wad technology to maximize effectiveness on ducks and geese at extended ranges.
What Makes This Different
Fasteel 2.0 technology features diamond-cut steel pellets that maintain their spherical shape better than traditional steel shot, resulting in tighter patterns and improved penetration. The proprietary wad design creates a protective buffer around the shot column, reducing deformation during barrel transit and delivering more consistent velocities than standard steel loads. Independent testing shows 15% tighter patterns at 40 yards compared to conventional steel ammunition.
Key Features
- Diamond-cut #1 steel shot for superior pattern density and knockdown power
- 1-1/4 ounce payload delivers maximum energy transfer on medium to large waterfowl
- 1,400 fps muzzle velocity provides flat trajectory for longer shots
- Advanced wad system protects shot during acceleration and improves pattern consistency
- 3-inch magnum case holds optimal powder charge for complete burn
- Non-toxic steel construction meets all federal waterfowl hunting requirements
- Brass-plated steel head ensures reliable extraction in semi-automatic shotguns
Field performance testing demonstrates effective lethality on mallards out to 50 yards with proper shot placement. The #1 shot size strikes the ideal balance between pellet count and individual pellet energy, making it versatile for both diving ducks and larger geese. Weather-sealed primer and powder charge maintain consistent ignition in wet conditions typical of waterfowl hunting environments.
