The Kent Cartridge K203FS242 Fasteel 2.0 delivers consistent steel shot performance for waterfowl hunters demanding reliable knockdown power. This 20-gauge load combines precision-engineered steel pellets with advanced wad technology to achieve tighter patterns and increased velocity. Fasteel 2.0 represents Kent's commitment to non-toxic ammunition that maintains effectiveness across various hunting conditions.
What Makes This Different
Fasteel 2.0 incorporates Kent's Diamond Shot technology, featuring perfectly round steel pellets that maintain their shape through the barrel and beyond. The advanced wad design creates a protective barrier around the shot column, reducing deformation and delivering more consistent patterns than standard steel loads. Velocity reaches 1,350 fps, providing 15% more energy transfer compared to conventional steel ammunition in the same gauge.
Key Features
- Diamond Shot steel pellets for superior pattern consistency and penetration
- 3-inch magnum case length maximizes powder capacity and velocity potential
