Description
The Kent Fasteel 2.0 is made for waterfowl hunters who need their ammo to perform in tough conditions. This load pairs 1-1/4 oz of precision ground zinc-plated steel shot with nickel-plated heads to resist corrosion when you're hunting in wet environments. The plating also helps the individual pellets flow more smoothly through your choke instead of clumping together, which contributes to denser, more consistent patterns.
Fasteel 2.0 Base Wad and Cycling
The high-performance base wad is engineered specifically for modern semi-automatic shotguns. This means reliable feeding, fewer jams, and faster follow-up shots when you need them. The custom-blended powder helps keep recoil manageable while reaching the 1500 fps velocity needed for consistent downrange energy on ducks and geese. Everything works together as a matched system rather than slapping components together.
Hard-Working Steel Shot for Typical Hunting
#2 steel shot splits the difference between smaller pellets that pattern tighter and larger shot that carries more energy. With 1-1/4 oz of shot, you're getting enough pellets to build a clean pattern at typical hunting ranges without overshooting the situation. Real waterfowl hunters typically operate well under 50 yards, and this load delivers what they need in that window. The ammunition cycles reliably in both pump and semi-automatic shotguns, so you're not locked into one action type.
Built for Real Conditions
Kent manufactures these shells in West Virginia and has spent years refining waterfowl loads. The combination of zinc-plated shot, nickel-plated heads, and a sealed primer gives you ammo that won't fail because moisture got to it during the season. If you hunt salt marshes, flooded timber, or anywhere else that gets wet, the corrosion resistance matters more than marketing hype.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will these Fasteel 2.0 shells work in my semi-automatic shotgun?
Yes. The high-performance base wad in these shells is specifically designed for semi-automatic shotguns to ensure reliable cycling and fast follow-up shots. They also work in pump-action shotguns. Always check that your shotgun is chambered for 3 inch shells before loading.
What makes the precision-plated shot different from regular steel shot?
The zinc plating on the shot pellets protects against corrosion in wet conditions and helps pellets slide against each other instead of clumping together in the barrel. This leads to denser, more consistent patterns. The nickel-plated heads add another layer of protection against moisture exposure during storage and hunting.
Is #2 steel shot effective for both ducks and geese?
Yes. #2 steel is a versatile choice that works well for typical duck and goose hunting. It provides enough pellets for pattern density while carrying sufficient energy at the ranges most hunters operate. Patterning your specific shotgun with these shells will show you exactly what to expect from your setup.
How should I store these shells to keep them in good condition?
Store them in a cool, dry place indoors. The nickel-plated heads and sealed primers protect against moisture, but keeping them out of direct heat and humidity extends their lifespan. If you hunt wet environments, the plated construction means you can rely on them even after being exposed to moisture during the season.
