Description

Kent's Fasteel 2.0 represents a genuine step up from the original steel load that earned its reputation across North America's duck and goose blinds. These 3-inch shells pack 1 3/8 ounces of precision-plated #3 steel shot and launch them at 1300 fps. The redesign focuses on what matters in the field: dependable function and consistent patterns in whatever conditions you're hunting.

Fasteel 2.0 Wad and Cycling

The foundation of this load is a high-performance base wad specifically tuned for modern semi-automatic shotguns. This design allows faster follow-up shots and keeps the gun cycling reliably through your entire hunt. The nickel-plated case heads pair with high-density polymer hulls to resist corrosion and ensure smooth ejection, even when you're dealing with salt spray or wet conditions out on the water.

Steel Shot Quality and Corrosion Resistance

Kent stepped up the material quality here. The precision-ground, zinc-plated steel shot resists corrosion far better than standard steel. That plating matters when you're hunting early season waterfowl in wet conditions or late-season geese in harsh weather. The custom-blended double base powders deliver those velocities while managing felt recoil so you can stay focused through multiple birds.

All-Weather Reliability

Fasteel 2.0 is engineered to maintain consistent velocities across a wide range of temperature extremes. Whether you're shooting on a crisp October morning over open water or grinding through a late-season marsh hunt, the load delivers the same tight patterns and knockdown power. The CX2000 primers ensure positive ignition every time. Hunters who've put these through their guns report superior patterning compared to the original Fasteel, which translates to cleaner kills at typical hunting ranges.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will Fasteel 2.0 work in my semi-auto shotgun?

Yes. The high-performance base wad in Fasteel 2.0 is specifically optimized for semi-automatic shotguns to ensure fast follow-up shots and consistent cycling. The load was redesigned from the ground up with modern semi-autos in mind, so reliability should be excellent.

What's the difference between #3 and other shot sizes for waterfowl?

Number 3 shot strikes a balance between pellet count and penetration. It carries good energy at typical hunting ranges and works well on both ducks and geese. Some hunters prefer #2 for bigger birds or longer ranges, while #4 offers more pellets at closer distances. #3 is versatile enough for mixed flocks.

How does the zinc-plated shot help?

The zinc plating protects the steel shot from corrosion, which is critical when hunting in wet, salty, or humid conditions. Corrosion can damage shot pellets before they even leave the barrel, affecting pattern consistency. Fasteel 2.0's plated steel maintains integrity through harsh weather that would degrade unplated steel loads.

Can I use these shells in older shotguns?

These shells require a shotgun chambered for 3-inch shells. Many older shotguns are limited to 2 3/4 inches. Check your shotgun's chamber first. Additionally, some older firearms may not be rated for steel shot at all, so verify your gun's compatibility before using any steel ammunition.
