Description

Kent rebuilt their proven Fasteel line from the ground up with next-generation components. The result is a consistently reliable steel load that handles real-world hunting conditions without compromise.

The foundation starts with a high-performance base wad specifically optimized for semiauto firearms. This means faster follow-up shots and the kind of dependable function you count on when birds are working your spread. The precision-ground zinc-plated steel shot resists corrosion in wet conditions, while nickel-plated heads protect the brass against salt spray and humidity. Combined with CX2000 primers that fire in cold weather and hot, this combination keeps everything working when it matters.

Why Fasteel 2.0 Stands Out for Steel Waterfowl Loads

There's a reason Fasteel has earned a loyal following among duck and goose hunters across North America. The #3 shot size sits in that sweet spot for medium and large ducks—delivering effective energy without overshooting distances most hunters encounter. Custom-blended powders let Kent push 1560 fps of velocity while keeping recoil manageable compared to slower heavier loads, and that velocity translates to denser patterns at typical hunting ranges.

Built for All-Weather Performance

These shells cycle reliably through temperature swings that would choke lesser loads. The design handles wet hulls, mud, and the punishment that comes with real hunting. Each 25-round box delivers consistent pellet count and pressure so you're not left wondering about your pattern from shot to shot.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will Kent Fasteel 2.0 work in my semiautomatic shotgun?

Yes. The high-performance base wad is specifically designed for semiauto cycling, which means faster follow-up shots and more reliable function than loads optimized for other gun types. You'll see fewer short-stroking issues compared to some other steel loads, particularly in older or less robust semiauto designs.

What's the difference between #2 and #3 shot for waterfowl?

Number 3 shot sits between #2 and #4 for versatility. It works well on medium to large ducks and geese, offering a middle ground between the deeper penetration of #2 and the tighter patterns of smaller sizes. Most hunters find #3 effective for the ranges where they spend their time—usually inside 45 yards.

Are these shells safe to use in older shotguns?

Yes, steel shot is non-toxic and designed for use in modern shotguns. That said, your gun should either have steel-compatible chokes or fixed chokes marked for steel—avoid full-choke barrels with steel ammunition if possible. Check your firearm's documentation, but standard modern shotguns handle these loads without issue.

How do these compare to the original Fasteel?

Fasteel 2.0 is a complete redesign with upgraded components throughout. The zinc-plated shot improves corrosion resistance, the CX2000 primer ensures cold-weather reliability, and the high-performance wad optimizes semiauto function better than the original generation. Most users report tighter patterns and more consistent performance across different shooting conditions.
