Kent Cartridge KTS203286 Teal Steel Waterfowl 20 Gauge 3" 1 oz #6 Shot - 25 Rounds/Box, 10 Boxes/Case

The Kent Cartridge Teal Steel Waterfowl 20 gauge 3" shotshell is built for hunters who want an effective, steel-shot option scaled to smaller-framed shotguns and tighter shooting scenarios. Using Kent's Fasteel technology and Precision Steel shot, this load delivers 1 oz of #6 shot at 1250 fps—a proven combination for waterfowl, upland game, and steel-compliant hunting where lead is off limits. If you shoot a 20 gauge and need versatile, non-toxic ammunition that patterns cleanly without giving up reliability, this is the load that bridges the gap between power and practicality.

The 3" hull and 1 oz payload push the boundaries of what a 20 gauge can handle in steel, which is why Kent engineered this specifically for hunters stepping up to heavier waterfowling tasks on a smaller platform. The #6 shot size sits in that sweet spot for mixed-bag hunting—effective on mallards and pintails at reasonable distances, and ideal for upland birds, rabbit, and small game where over-pellet overkill isn't necessary. Fasteel technology means consistent patterns and the durability to run through your gun without excessive wear, and Precision Steel shot ensures those pellets fly true.

This isn't a light-and-handy plinking round; it's ammunition built around a specific mission—to give 20 gauge shooters a steel option that doesn't feel like a compromise. Whether you're hunting public water, navigating steel-shot zones, or simply prefer non-toxic ammunition across the board, the Teal Steel load gives you the ballistics and consistency to hunt with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these Kent Teal Steel loads legal for waterfowl hunting?

Yes—steel shot is non-toxic and approved for migratory waterfowl across the US in jurisdictions that mandate steel. Always verify your local and state regulations, as requirements vary by region and species.

What gun chokes and 20 gauge shotguns work with 3" loads?

Any 20 gauge shotgun chambered for 3" ammunition will handle these shells. Confirm your gun's chamber length before purchasing; if your shotgun is marked 2.75" only, do not use 3" ammunition. Standard chokes (Modified, Full) work well with steel shot, though Kent recommends avoiding extremely tight constrictions with steel.

Is #6 steel shot good for ducks and geese?

The #6 shot size is effective for dabbling ducks like mallards and pintails at reasonable ranges. For larger waterfowl or long-distance shooting, hunters often prefer larger steel shot sizes (#2, #4). Check your state's waterfowl shot-size regulations—some areas have specific requirements.

What comes in this case?

Each case contains 10 boxes of 25 rounds, for a total of 250 rounds of Kent Cartridge Teal Steel 20 gauge ammunition.
