These 5/8-ounce loads in #6 shot deliver the pattern density needed for quail, grouse, and similar pursuits—offering consistent knockdown across the ranges typical of upland hunting. The 28-gauge itself is a natural fit for hunters who prefer a lighter gun and less recoil, especially on long days afield when fatigue matters. Kent's Fasteel shot provides a dependable alternative to lead, meeting regulations in areas where steel-only ammunition is required or preferred.

What sets this load apart is the balance Kent struck between affordability and function. You're not paying for premium performance claims or exotic materials; you're getting honest, straightforward ammunition engineered for the job. The 25-round box with 10-per-case quantity keeps your shooting costs reasonable, making it practical to practice, pattern your gun, and hunt without the sticker shock that can come with premium upland loads. That said, Fasteel performance is respectable enough that you won't feel like you're compromising on game in the field.

The 28-gauge has a loyal following among upland hunters who've learned that shot placement and pattern matter far more than raw velocity. Lighter recoil means faster follow-up shots and less fatigue—both real advantages in thick cover or when you're walking steep country. If you hunt where steel shot is the law, or you simply prefer the economics and handling of a 28 in upland cover, Kent Fasteel loads are a sensible, field-tested choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Fasteel shot, and does it perform like lead?

Fasteel is a steel shot formulation. Steel shot is lighter than lead, so it doesn't carry energy or pattern quite the same way at longer ranges. For typical upland hunting distances and birds like quail and grouse, Fasteel is a proven, reliable choice—especially in areas where steel shot is mandated by law.

Is 28-gauge ammunition suitable for upland hunting?

Yes. The 28-gauge is a classic upland shotgun gauge. The lighter recoil and nimble handling make it ideal for hunting quail, grouse, and similar game where shot placement is paramount. You'll find that a properly patterned 28 with appropriate shot sizes performs well across typical upland ranges.

What's included in the "25/10" quantity?

This product ships as 10 boxes of 25 rounds each, for a total of 250 rounds per case.

Where is lead shot required versus steel shot?

Steel shot requirements vary by region and hunting area—some states, refuges, and private lands require it; others allow lead. Check your local hunting regulations before purchasing. If your area has a steel-shot mandate, Fasteel loads give you a cost-effective compliant option.
