The Kent Cartridge Fasteel 2.0 delivers consistent knockdown power for waterfowl hunting with precision-engineered steel shot technology. This 12-gauge ammunition features a high-velocity 1-1/4 oz payload that maintains lethal energy at extended ranges.
What Makes This Different
Fasteel 2.0 incorporates Kent's advanced wad design and powder formulation to achieve higher velocities than standard steel loads while reducing felt recoil. The precision-formed steel shot maintains tighter patterns compared to conventional steel ammunition, extending effective range by 10-15 yards. Each shell undergoes quality control testing to ensure consistent velocities within 25 fps across the entire production lot.
Key Features
- High-velocity steel shot reaches 1,560 fps muzzle velocity for maximum energy transfer
- Precision-formed BB shot (0.18" diameter) delivers optimal penetration on large waterfowl
- Advanced wad system reduces barrel wear while improving pattern density
- 3-inch magnum shell length accommodates full 1-1/4 oz shot charge
- Non-toxic steel shot meets federal waterfowl hunting requirements
- Reliable ignition system functions in temperatures from -20°F to 140°F
- Compatible with all 12-gauge shotguns chambered for 3-inch shells
Field testing demonstrates consistent 70% pattern density at 40 yards through modified choke tubes. The steel shot composition maintains structural integrity through barrel constriction, resulting in uniform pellet distribution downrange. Hunters report reliable performance on mallards, geese, and other large waterfowl species in both early and late season conditions.
