Kent Cartridge Fasteel 2.0 12 Gauge 3" 1-3/8oz #4 Shot 25/Box

The Kent Cartridge K123FS404 Fasteel 2.0 delivers consistent steel shot performance for waterfowl hunters demanding reliable knockdown power. This 12 gauge load combines precision-engineered steel pellets with advanced wad technology to maintain tight patterns at extended ranges. Each 3-inch shell contains 1-3/8 ounces of #4 steel shot, providing the energy transfer needed for clean harvests on medium to large waterfowl.

What Makes This Different

Fasteel 2.0 technology utilizes a specialized wad system that reduces pellet deformation during barrel travel, resulting in more uniform shot patterns compared to standard steel loads. The optimized powder charge produces consistent velocities of 1,560 feet per second, while the precision-formed steel shot maintains structural integrity through impact. This combination delivers approximately 15% tighter patterns than conventional steel ammunition at 40-yard distances.

Key Features

• 1-3/8 ounce payload of precision-formed #4 steel shot for optimal energy transfer
• 3-inch magnum shell length maximizes powder capacity and velocity potential
• Advanced wad design minimizes pellet deformation and flyer pellets
• Muzzle velocity of 1,560 fps provides flat trajectory and retained energy
• Low-flash powder formulation reduces muzzle signature in low-light conditions
• Corrosion-resistant brass-plated steel base prevents moisture infiltration
• Compatible with all 12 gauge shotguns chambered for 3-inch shells

Field performance testing demonstrates consistent pattern density maintenance beyond 45 yards, making these loads effective for pass shooting and long-range waterfowl scenarios. The #4 shot size strikes the optimal balance between pellet count and individual pellet energy, providing sufficient penetration on mallards, geese, and similar-sized game birds. Weather-sealed construction ensures reliable ignition in wet hunting conditions, while the steel shot composition meets all non-toxic ammunition requirements for waterfowl hunting.
