When you're chasing geese or big greenheads late in the season, you need a shell that hits hard and still puts enough pellets on target to seal the deal. Kent's Fasteel+ 12 gauge 3.5 inch load solves that problem with a layered shot column, stacking BB shot up front for penetration and #2 shot behind it to tighten up the pattern. That smaller shot rides in the wake of the bigger pellets, which cuts down on the gaps you'd normally get with a straight BB load and gets more steel into the vitals.
This load is built around Kent's high-performance base wad, a custom double-base powder blend, and the CX2000 primer, a combo designed to fire reliably even when your blind is soaked through and the temperature has dropped. The 1.5 ounce payload leaves the muzzle at 1450 fps, giving you flatter trajectories and more retained energy at the yardages geese like to hang up at. Every pellet is precision plated steel with a zinc coating and nickel plated heads, so corrosion isn't an issue whether you're hunting flooded timber, a frozen pothole, or open water on a big lake.
This shell earned its reputation because it cycles clean through semi-autos and pumps without babying the action, which matters when a second or third shot is on the line. The base wad and shot cup keep the payload protected through the barrel, so patterns stay uniform instead of stringing out. It's a solid pick for hunters who want one load that handles both close decoying birds and the longer crossing shots that come with big water and open fields.
Each box holds 25 rounds, giving you plenty to fill a few days in the blind without constantly restocking mid season.
Fasteel 2.0 uses a single shot size per shell, while Fasteel+ layers two different pellet sizes in the same payload. In this BB & 2 load, the BB shot sits up front for penetration and the smaller 2 shot rides behind it to tighten the pattern and add pellet count. It's built on the same base wad and priming system as Fasteel 2.0, just with the added layered shot technology.
Yes, the Fasteel+ line is built with a high-performance base wad specifically to keep semi-autos and pumps cycling smoothly. The custom powder blend and CX2000 primer are also there to keep ignition consistent so you're not fighting short-stroking in cold weather.
A modified or improved cylinder choke is a good starting point for a layered BB and 2 shot load like this, especially since steel patterns differently than lead. Every barrel is a little different though, so it's worth patterning a few shots at your typical hunting range before opening day to dial in the choke that gives you the densest pattern.
It's really built to bridge both. The BB shot carries the energy needed for birds at extended range, while the 2 shot fills in the pattern for closer, more decoyed birds. That combination makes it a solid all-around pick for late season hunts where shot distances can vary a lot from one flock to the next.
