The Kent Cartridge Fasteel+ delivers consistent steel shot performance for waterfowl hunters demanding reliable knockdown power in challenging conditions. This premium 12-gauge ammunition combines precision-engineered steel pellets with advanced wad technology to maximize pattern density and energy transfer at extended ranges.
What Makes This Different
Fasteel+ ammunition utilizes Kent's proprietary Diamond Shot technology, creating perfectly round steel pellets that maintain velocity and pattern integrity better than standard steel shot. The advanced wad design reduces pellet deformation during barrel travel, resulting in tighter patterns and improved downrange performance compared to conventional steel loads. Independent ballistics testing shows 15-20% better pattern consistency at 40 yards versus comparable steel ammunition.
Key Features
- Diamond Shot steel pellets for superior roundness and consistent flight characteristics
- Precision-loaded 1-1/4 ounce payload with #2/#4 duplex shot configuration
- 3-inch magnum shell length generates 1,560 fps muzzle velocity
- Advanced wad system minimizes pellet deformation and flyers
- Non-toxic steel shot meets all federal waterfowl hunting requirements
- Reliable primer ignition performs in temperature extremes from -20°F to 140°F
- 25 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case for bulk purchasing convenience
Field performance testing demonstrates effective lethal range extending to 50+ yards on medium waterfowl species. The duplex shot combination provides versatility for varying hunting conditions - larger #2 pellets deliver energy for longer shots while #4 pellets increase hit probability on crossing birds. Consistent chamber pressures ensure reliable cycling in semi-automatic shotguns, while the steel shot construction eliminates lead toxicity concerns in sensitive wetland environments.
