Description
Kent's Fasteel 2.0 line has built a solid reputation among waterfowl hunters for delivering dependable performance when it counts. This 12 gauge 3" load packs 1 3/8 oz of zinc-plated BB steel shot, which gives you the heavier payload and larger pellets needed for taking down big ducks and geese effectively. The BB size is the right choice when you want deeper penetration and hard-hitting knockdown power at extended ranges.
What Makes Fasteel 2.0 Stand Out
Kent completely redesigned the Fasteel line to work better in today's shotguns. The foundation starts with a high-performance base wad that's optimized for semi-automatic shotguns, which means faster, more reliable cycling and quicker follow-up shots when you need them. The custom-blended powders are engineered to manage recoil while maintaining velocity consistency across temperature extremes, so these shells perform whether you're hunting in cold early season or warmer conditions.
Corrosion-Resistant Construction for Tough Hunting
The zinc-plated steel shot resists corrosion while maintaining superior flight characteristics for tighter patterns. Paired with nickel-plated case heads and high-density polymer hulls, you get easy loading and smooth ejection even in wet, muddy conditions. The CX2000 primers ensure positive ignition in any weather. These quality components work together to deliver consistent, on-target performance across varied hunting situations, which is exactly what you need when birds are flying and second chances are rare.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will Kent Fasteel 2.0 cycle reliably in my semi-automatic shotgun?
Yes. The high-performance base wad in Fasteel 2.0 is specifically designed to optimize function in semi-automatic shotguns, giving you reliable cycling and fast follow-up shots. This load works equally well in pump-action shotguns.
Why choose BB shot size for waterfowl?
BB pellets are larger and heavier than smaller shot sizes, which means deeper penetration and harder-hitting impact on big ducks and geese. BB is the right choice when you're hunting at extended ranges or targeting larger birds that need that extra energy.
How does the zinc-plated steel shot perform in wet hunting conditions?
The zinc plating provides corrosion resistance to help protect shot from deformation and maintain pattern integrity. Combined with the nickel-plated case head and water-resistant CX2000 primers, these shells perform reliably even when exposed to mud, water, and harsh marsh environments.
What's the difference between Fasteel 2.0 and the original Fasteel?
Kent upgraded the Fasteel 2.0 with quality improvements including the optimized base wad for semi-auto shotguns, precision-plated steel shot for better corrosion resistance, custom-blended powders for recoil management, and more consistent performance across temperature extremes.
