Description
Kent's Upland Fasteel shotshells are purpose-built for the fast-paced action of upland hunting. Loaded with premium components and clean-burning powders, these 12-gauge 2.75" shells pack a 1 1/8 ounce steel payload that cuts through the field at 1400 feet per second. The shot size 6 delivers the right balance of pattern density and energy for birds like pheasant, quail, and grouse across various hunting terrain.
What Makes These Fasteel Loads Stand Out
The key to these loads' performance is the use of Precision Steel shot that patterns tighter than traditional steel while maintaining superior energy retention downrange. Kent engineers these shells with high-performance base wads that ensure reliable cycling in both semi-automatic and over-under shotguns, even in challenging field conditions. The combination of meticulous powder selection and consistent loading means you get the same velocity and pattern shot after shot, letting you focus on hunting instead of worrying about ammunition variables.
Built for Non-Toxic Hunting
When you need to meet non-toxic shot requirements, these Upland Fasteel loads provide an effective, lead-free alternative without sacrificing lethality or pattern quality. At 1400 fps with a full 1 1/8 ounce payload, they deliver the knockdown authority needed for confident shots in the field. The number 6 shot size works well across the typical upland range, making it a solid all-around choice if you hunt different bird species throughout the season.
Practical Packaging for Season-Long Use
Each box contains 25 rounds, and cases come with ten boxes, making it easy to stock up for your hunts. Whether you're running a single box or loading up for a full day's outing, these shells cycle smoothly and deliver the consistent performance you expect from a trusted name like Kent.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will Kent Upland Fasteel #6 steel shot cycle in my shotgun?
These shells are designed to cycle smoothly in both semi-automatic and over-under shotguns. The high-performance base wad and consistent powder charge ensure reliable functioning, though results can vary based on your specific firearm. It's always a good idea to pattern your gun with any new load before heading to the field.
Is #6 shot size good for pheasants with steel?
Shot size 6 in steel is a solid choice for upland game, particularly for quail and grouse at typical hunting ranges. For pheasants, some hunters prefer going up a size to #5 steel to ensure adequate penetration on tougher birds, but #6 will work if your shooting distances are inside 35 yards and your choke provides good pattern density.
How does Kent Fasteel compare to other non-toxic upland loads?
Kent's Upland Fasteel uses Precision Steel shot engineered for tighter patterns and superior energy retention compared to standard steel loads. At a competitive price point, these shells deliver consistent 1400 fps velocity and reliable performance that hunters find comparable to other quality steel upland loads on the market.
Can I use these shells in older shotguns?
Steel shot requires a properly hardened barrel and is generally not recommended for older or vintage shotguns unless they are specifically rated for steel. Always check your firearm's manual or markings to confirm it is rated for steel shot before shooting these loads. If in doubt, contact the manufacturer or a qualified gunsmith.
