Description
Kent Fasteel 2.0 is purpose-built for waterfowl hunters who won't compromise on performance. The 3-inch, 1-1/8 ounce #2 steel load delivers 1560 fps of velocity right out of your gun, giving you the speed needed to reach birds at extended ranges while maintaining energy downrange. #2 steel shot has become the go-to choice for hunters tackling mixed duck and goose situations because it strikes the perfect balance between pattern density and individual pellet energy.
Precision-Plated Steel Shot and Corrosion Protection
What sets Fasteel 2.0 apart is the attention to component quality. Each pellet is zinc-plated to resist corrosion and maintain its perfect round shape through your hunt. The nickel-plated shell heads provide additional protection against moisture and rust, which matters when you're pushing through wet marshes and coastal conditions. This coating system keeps the ammunition performing reliably even when exposed to humidity and harsh hunting environments that would compromise ordinary steel shot.
Built for Semi-Auto and Pump Shotguns
The foundation of these shells is a high-performance base wad engineered specifically for smooth cycling in modern semi-automatic firearms. This translates to faster follow-up shots and the consistent reliability you need when birds are working. The combination of precision-ground shot, custom-blended powders, and CX2000 primers ensures ignition happens every time, regardless of temperature swings between early morning cold and midday warm-ups.
You get 25 rounds per box, which makes Fasteel 2.0 an economical choice for both practice sessions and actual hunting season. Whether you're scouting patterns before the opener or hunting the final days of the season, these shells deliver the dependable performance Kent Cartridge has built its reputation on.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these Kent Fasteel 2.0 shells suitable for both pump and semi-automatic shotguns?
Yes. The high-performance base wad is specifically engineered to cycle reliably in both semi-automatic and pump-action shotguns. The wad design helps regulate head expansion and ensures consistent functioning across different firearm types.
What makes #2 steel shot a good choice for waterfowl hunting?
#2 steel is a versatile size that handles most waterfowl situations well. It provides a good balance between pattern density and individual pellet energy, making it effective on both ducks and geese. It retains velocity downrange and is readily available in most sporting goods stores.
How does the zinc-plated shot help during wet hunting conditions?
The zinc plating acts as a protective barrier against rust and corrosion caused by moisture and humidity. This coating keeps the pellets perfectly round and free of surface imperfections that could harm flight characteristics. Nickel-plated shell heads provide additional protection against moisture damage.
Will these shells pattern the same in all shotguns?
No, shotgun patterns vary based on barrel length, choke constriction, and other factors. It's always a good idea to pattern your specific gun and ammo combination at your expected hunting distances before the season to understand how these shells will perform in your setup.
