Kent Cartridge Fasteel 2.0 12 Gauge 3" 1-1/4oz #3 Shot 25rd Box

The Kent Cartridge K123FS363 Fasteel 2.0 delivers consistent steel shot performance for waterfowl hunting with precision-plated steel pellets in a 12 gauge 3-inch shell. This premium non-toxic ammunition combines 1-1/4 ounces of #3 steel shot with advanced wad technology to maximize pattern density and knockdown power.

What Makes This Different

Fasteel 2.0 features precision-plated steel shot that maintains rounder pellet geometry compared to standard steel shot, resulting in tighter patterns and improved downrange energy retention. The advanced shot plating process reduces pellet deformation during firing, delivering 15-20% better pattern consistency than conventional steel loads. Kent's Diamond Shot technology ensures uniform pellet size distribution for predictable ballistic performance.

Key Features

• Precision-plated steel shot with Diamond Shot technology for consistent pellet geometry
• 1-1/4 ounces of #3 steel shot optimized for medium to large waterfowl
• 3-inch magnum shell length provides maximum powder capacity and velocity
• Advanced wad design protects barrel and improves shot column integrity
• Non-toxic steel shot complies with federal waterfowl hunting regulations
• High-quality brass-plated steel case head for reliable extraction
• Muzzle velocity of approximately 1,400 feet per second

Field testing demonstrates effective performance on ducks and geese at ranges up to 50 yards, with #3 shot size providing optimal penetration for medium-sized waterfowl while maintaining sufficient pellet count for reliable hits. The 3-inch shell length generates higher velocities than standard 2-3/4 inch loads, extending effective range in cold weather conditions when waterfowl carry thicker plumage. Consistent ignition and clean burning powder reduce fouling in semi-automatic shotguns during extended hunting sessions.
