Description
Kent Fasteel 2.0 is a no-nonsense steel load designed specifically for hunters who spend their season in marshes, rivers, and flooded timber. These 3-inch shells pack 1-1/4 ounces of zinc-plated #4 shot that patterns tight and delivers the knockdown you need when ducks and geese are committed. The #4 shot size is a sweet spot for most waterfowl hunting situations, giving you good range and effective energy without running smaller than necessary.
What sets this load apart is how much thought went into the components. The zinc-plated steel pellets have a protective coating that stands up to the corrosion you get hunting in wet, salty, or harsh environments. Nickel-plated heads on the shells add another layer of protection. The high-performance base wad is designed specifically to work reliably in today's semi-automatic shotguns, meaning you'll get smooth cycling and fast follow-up shots without babying the gun. Kent built this to run, not sit on a shelf.
Fasteel 2.0 Velocity and Pattern Control
You're getting 1500 fps of muzzle velocity from these loads, which is right in the sweet zone for waterfowl work. Fast enough to reach out there, but not so hot that it comes at the cost of pattern integrity. Kent's custom blended powders handle the pressure curve to keep felt recoil manageable while maintaining those optimal velocities. The wads and shot cups are loaded with the same attention to detail, which is why shooters who pattern these report tight, consistent groups from shot to shot.
Non-Toxic Steel Construction
Fasteel 2.0 rounds meet all non-toxic requirements, making these suitable for any waterfowl hunting situation where steel shot is required. The precision-ground zinc-plated pellets resist corrosion from moisture and salt spray better than bare steel, so you're not dealing with rust and degradation even if conditions get tough. Each box contains 25 rounds packaged for convenient field use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will Kent Fasteel 2.0 shells work in my semi-automatic shotgun?
Yes. These shells are specifically engineered with a high-performance base wad optimized for semi-automatic functioning. They'll cycle reliably in most modern semi-auto shotguns without modification, giving you smooth operation and fast follow-up shots.
What's the difference between #4 shot and other sizes in the Fasteel line?
Number 4 shot sits in the middle ground for waterfowl. It carries good energy at distance while patterning tighter than larger sizes like #2. Many hunters prefer #4 for general duck hunting since it balances range and knockdown across varying distances.
Why are these loaded with zinc-plated steel instead of bare steel?
The zinc plating adds corrosion protection, which matters when you're hunting in wet, salty, or cold conditions. Bare steel can rust if shells aren't stored properly or get exposed to moisture during the season. The plating means less worry about your ammunition degrading in the field.
Can I use these shells for target practice or clay shooting?
Technically yes, but they're built and priced as a waterfowl load. If you need steel shells for general shooting practice, Kent offers upland Fasteel loads that are more economical for that purpose. Save the waterfowl-specific loads for when you're actually hunting ducks or geese.
