Description
Built for serious waterfowl hunters, the Kent Fasteel 2.0 combines modern steel shot ammunition engineering with field-proven performance. Each shell loads 1 3/8 ounces of precision-plated steel shot in size 4, delivering consistent patterns and downrange energy in everything from timber hunting to open water situations. The 1300 fps velocity keeps you competitive at typical waterfowl ranges without excessive recoil.
What Makes Fasteel 2.0 Dependable
These shells are built with corrosion-resistant components from the ground up. The zinc-plated steel shot protects pellets from moisture damage, while nickel-plated case heads resist corrosion in wet hunting conditions. The polymer hulls stay consistent through temperature swings, so performance stays the same whether you're hunting early season or late. Custom-blended powders handle the recoil management while hitting target velocities.
Pattern Performance in Modern Shotguns
The high-performance base wad is specifically designed to function flawlessly in semi-automatic shotguns. This means reliable cycling, fast follow-up shots, and consistent ignition through whatever weather rolls in. The CX2000 primer fires every time, and the precision-ground shot helps patterns stay tight across different choke selections and shooting distances.
Kent has earned a loyal following among guides, outfitters, and weekend hunters because they deliver results without premium pricing. Whether you're working a marsh early morning or grinding out late season geese, these shells handle the job. The Fasteel 2.0 lineup comes in various payloads and velocities, so you can match the load to your hunting style and location.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will Kent Fasteel 2.0 work in my semi-automatic shotgun?
Yes. The Fasteel 2.0 is specifically engineered with a high-performance base wad to function reliably in semi-automatic shotguns. It cycles smoothly, allows for quick follow-up shots, and ensures consistent reliability through all weather conditions.
What's the advantage of precision-plated steel shot?
The zinc plating provides superior corrosion protection from moisture and harsh hunting conditions. It also improves the lubricity of the pellets, resulting in tighter patterns, better ballistic energy retention, and more consistent downrange performance compared to unplated steel.
Is the 1 3/8 oz payload a good choice for waterfowl?
The 1 3/8 oz load with #4 shot provides an effective balance of pellet count and downrange energy for typical waterfowl hunting ranges. It delivers solid pattern density while managing recoil better than heavier loads, making it popular for both ducks and geese in various hunting situations.
How does the custom-blended powder help?
Kent uses double-base powders formulated to maintain optimal velocities across a wide range of temperatures. This means the 1300 fps load performs consistently whether you're hunting early season warmth or late-season cold, without excessive felt recoil that causes flinching.
