Kent Cartridge Fasteel 2.0 20 Gauge 3" 7/8 oz #3 Shot Waterfowl Ammo - 25 Rounds/Box

Kent Cartridge Fasteel 2.0 20 gauge shotshells are steel ammunition built for waterfowl hunters who want dependable performance without the premium price tag. The 3-inch, 7/8 oz load with #3 shot delivers the ballistics waterfowl hunters rely on—1550 fps muzzle velocity—in a 20 gauge that's gentler on the shoulder than larger gauges while maintaining effective range and pattern density on ducks and geese. If you're running a 20 gauge for upland work and need a steel load for early-season or regulated waterfowl opportunities, Fasteel 2.0 bridges that gap smartly.

Fasteel has earned a loyal following among North American hunters for straightforward reliability and value. These aren't cutting-edge loads, but they're built to cycle, pattern, and perform without fuss—exactly what you want when you're sitting in a blind before dawn. The steel shot delivers clean, ethical energy on waterfowl at typical hunting distances, and the 25-round box format is convenient for practice and field work alike.

A 20 gauge waterfowl load makes sense if you own a 20 gauge that's approved for steel shot and you hunt in areas where seasonal or bag-limit regulations allow 20 gauge use. Always verify your hunting zone and local regulations before purchase—some waterfowl seasons and jurisdictions have gauge or shot-type restrictions. Pair these with a properly choked 20 gauge shotgun and you've got an honest, affordable round for early season or specialized situations where the 20 delivers.
