The Kent Cartridge K123FS403 Fasteel 2.0 delivers consistent knockdown power for waterfowl hunting with precision-engineered steel shot technology. This 12-gauge ammunition combines optimal pellet density with reliable ignition systems for effective performance in challenging field conditions.
What Makes This Different
Fasteel 2.0 technology utilizes advanced steel shot manufacturing that produces more uniform pellet shapes compared to standard steel loads. The precision-formed pellets maintain better flight characteristics and deliver improved pattern density at extended ranges. Independent ballistics testing shows 15-20% tighter patterns than conventional steel shot at 40 yards, translating to more effective energy transfer on target.
Key Features
- 1-3/8 oz payload of #3 steel shot optimized for medium to large waterfowl
- 3-inch magnum shell length maximizes powder capacity and velocity
- Precision-wad system designed specifically for steel shot performance
- High-quality brass-plated steel base prevents corrosion in wet conditions
- Consistent 1,560 fps muzzle velocity across temperature ranges
