Description
The Kent Fasteel + line brings serious performance to waterfowl hunting with a layered shot design that combines BB and #2 pellets in a single shell. This approach lets the smaller #2 shot draft behind the larger BB pellets, which produces denser patterns and better energy delivery downrange compared to single-shot-size loads.
With 1-1/4 ounces of precision-plated steel moving at 1450 feet per second, this 3-inch load delivers what waterfowl hunters expect from a hard-hitting mid-range load. The precision plating adds corrosion resistance, which matters when you're hunting wet marsh conditions or coastal environments. The CX2000 primer is built for reliable ignition in cold weather, and the high-performance base wad ensures consistent function in semi-automatic shotguns without the feeding hiccups some steel loads create.
Kent Fasteel + Design and Shot Configuration
Kent engineered this load with their proprietary layering approach, which means you get versatility in a single box. The BB shot punches through at longer distances, while the #2 provides pellet count for pattern density. This combination works well for bigger birds like geese and larger ducks, or when you're stretching shots beyond typical decoy range.
Performance and Reliability in the Field
The base wad technology optimizes cycling in modern semi-automatic shotguns, letting you get off quick follow-up shots without thinking about it. That matters when ducks are working or when geese commit to the spread. Twenty-five rounds per box gives you plenty for a full day without breaking open multiple packages between hunts.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the advantage of the BB and #2 layered shot design in Kent Fasteel + shells?
The dual-shot configuration allows the smaller #2 pellets to draft behind the larger BB shot for tighter patterns and better penetration at distance. This combination gives you the hitting power of BB with the pattern density of #2, making it effective on both geese and larger ducks across a range of hunting distances.
Are Kent Fasteel + shells suitable for semi-automatic shotguns?
Yes, these shells are specifically engineered for reliable cycling in semi-automatic shotguns. The high-performance base wad and CX2000 primer work together to ensure consistent function and fast follow-up shots without feeding issues.
How does the precision-plated steel shot help in wet hunting conditions?
The zinc and nickel plating on the steel pellets provides corrosion resistance, protecting the shot from rust and degradation when exposed to saltwater, marsh spray, or rain during waterfowl hunts. This means reliable performance regardless of weather conditions.
What muzzle velocity does this load deliver?
Kent Fasteel + shells are factory-rated at 1450 feet per second, which delivers consistent energy and patterns for effective shots on waterfowl at typical hunting distances.
