Kent Cartridge Fasteel 2.0 12 gauge 3" shotgun shells deliver the proven reliability waterfowl hunters have trusted for years. Built with a high-performance base wad designed for semi-automatic shotguns, these steel loads cycle smoothly for fast follow-up shots when you need them most. Whether you're working a duck blind at dawn or gunning geese over decoys, Fasteel 2.0 shells give you the consistency and dependability to stay in the hunt all season long.

These 12 gauge 3" shells load 1 1/8 ounces of #3 shot at 1560 fps, striking the balance between pattern density and energy retention that works across a range of barrel lengths and choke combinations. The steel shot pattern stays tight enough for confident shots at typical waterfowl distances, while the wad design minimizes malfunctions in the semi-autos many hunters prefer. Each box contains 25 rounds, so you can load up for a full day without running short.

If you run a semi-automatic 12 gauge—whether it's a classic Browning, Benelli, Mossberg, or another proven platform—Fasteel 2.0 is engineered to function reliably in your gun. The wad cup design reduces feeding hiccups and ensures you stay on target when a flock comes in range. Fasteel has earned its reputation not through hype, but through the hands of serious waterfowl hunters who reload the same shells season after season.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will Fasteel 2.0 shells work in my semi-automatic shotgun?

Yes. Fasteel 2.0 shells are specifically designed with a high-performance base wad to function reliably in semi-automatic shotguns. The wad design minimizes feeding issues and supports fast, consistent cycling so you can take follow-up shots without hesitation.

What's the difference between #3 shot and other waterfowl loads?

Shot size affects pattern density and energy at distance. #3 shot strikes a balance that works well for ducks and geese at typical hunting ranges, offering enough pellet count for effective patterns while maintaining adequate energy downrange. Your specific choice may depend on your gun, choke, and target distance.

Are these steel loads legal for waterfowl hunting?

Steel shot is required for waterfowl hunting under federal law. Fasteel 2.0 shells use steel shot, so they comply with those regulations. Always check your local hunting regulations before the season, as some states may have additional restrictions on shot size or shell length.

How many boxes do I need for a day of hunting?

That depends on how much you shoot. Each box contains 25 rounds. Most hunters take 50–100 shells to an outing, so plan for 2–4 boxes depending on your style and how long you'll be in the field.
