Kent Cartridge K123FS362 Fasteel 2.0 12 Gauge 3" 1-1/4 oz #2 Shot

The Kent Cartridge K123FS362 Fasteel 2.0 delivers consistent waterfowl performance with precision-engineered steel shot technology. This 12 gauge 3-inch shell pushes 1-1/4 ounces of #2 steel shot at velocities optimized for medium to large waterfowl. Kent's proprietary Diamond Shot technology creates rounder, more uniform pellets that maintain energy downrange better than conventional steel shot.

What Makes This Different

Fasteel 2.0 ammunition incorporates Kent's advanced wad design that reduces pellet deformation during barrel travel, resulting in tighter patterns and improved knockdown power. The precision-plated steel shot maintains 15% better roundness compared to standard steel pellets, translating to more consistent flight paths and energy transfer. Independent ballistics testing shows 8-10% tighter patterns at 40 yards versus comparable steel loads.

Key Features

• Diamond Shot technology with precision-plated steel pellets for superior roundness
• Advanced wad system reduces shot deformation and improves pattern consistency
• 1-1/4 oz payload of #2 steel shot ideal for ducks, geese, and upland birds
• 3-inch magnum shell length maximizes powder capacity and velocity
• Weatherproof crimp and primer seal prevents moisture infiltration
• Low-recoil powder blend reduces felt recoil while maintaining velocity
• Compatible with all 12 gauge shotguns rated for 3-inch magnum shells

Field testing demonstrates reliable cycling in semi-automatic shotguns and consistent ignition in extreme weather conditions down to -20°F. The #2 shot size provides optimal penetration for medium waterfowl at ranges up to 50 yards while maintaining sufficient pellet count for reliable hits. Hunters report clean kills on mallards, pintails, and Canada geese with proper shot placement.
