Description
Kent's Fasteel 2.0 is built around one core principle: delivering consistent, dependable performance when it matters most. This load pairs precision-ground, zinc-plated steel shot with nickel-plated case heads and high-density polymer hulls, so you get corrosion resistance that actually works in the field. Whether you're hunting over open water or in humid marshland conditions, these shells won't let rust slow you down.
What Makes Fasteel 2.0 Different
The real innovation here is the base wad. Kent completely redesigned it from the original Fasteel to optimize function in semi-automatic shotguns, which means faster follow-up shots and rock-solid reliability. You're not fighting the gun—the shell works with your firearm's cycle, not against it. The 1 3/8 oz payload of #4 shot loaded to 1550 fps gives you the velocity needed to reach birds at extended range while maintaining pattern density downrange.
Custom-blended double-base powders and CX2000 primers deliver consistent ignition across a wide temperature spectrum. This matters more than you might think. Cold mornings when everything feels sluggish and humid afternoons when moisture is in the air—Fasteel 2.0 just goes bang, every time. The precision-engineered pellets are rounder and smoother than unplated shot, which translates to tighter patterns and less wind drift at distance.
Performance You Can Count On
The 3.5" shell length gives you that heavier payload in a 12 gauge, and the #4 shot size is versatile enough for ducks and geese across different seasons and situations. Serious waterfowlers have been using the Fasteel line for years because it simply works. The feedback from commercial guides and individual hunters shows consistent patterning and reliable knockdown when you do your part putting them where they need to go.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will Fasteel 2.0 work in my semi-automatic shotgun?
Yes, Fasteel 2.0 is specifically engineered with a high-performance base wad optimized for semi-automatic shotguns. The wad design improves feeding, ejection, and cycle reliability in modern semi-auto designs. Just make sure your shotgun is chambered for 3.5" shells before shooting.
What's the difference between plated and unplated steel shot?
The zinc plating on Fasteel 2.0 pellets serves two main purposes: it protects the shot from corrosion in wet hunting conditions, and it improves lubricity so pellets slide against each other rather than smashing together in the barrel. This results in tighter, denser patterns and better downrange performance, especially at extended range.
Is #4 shot the right choice for my waterfowl hunting?
Number 4 shot is a versatile mid-range choice that works well for both ducks and geese across different seasons. It offers a good balance of pellet count and energy. Your specific choice might depend on the type of birds you're targeting and your preferred hunting distance, but #4 is a solid, proven load for general waterfowl hunting.
How does Fasteel 2.0 perform in cold weather?
Fasteel 2.0 is designed to maintain consistent performance across a wide range of temperatures. The custom-blended powder and CX2000 primers ensure reliable ignition even in cold conditions, and the zinc-plated shot resists corrosion from condensation and moisture exposure that comes with cold, damp mornings in the blind.
