Kent Fasteel+ Bayou 12Ga 1-1/4Oz #3X5 100/2

Kent Fasteel+ Bayou 12-gauge steel shot ammunition delivers reliable, hard-hitting performance for waterfowl hunters who demand dependable function and consistent patterns. Built on Kent's proven Fasteel+ platform, these 3-inch shells pack 1¼ ounces of mixed #3 and #5 shot at 1450 fps—a combination designed to balance energy and pattern density for ducks and geese in real-world hunting conditions. The layered shot sizing creates a denser, more uniform pattern across the effective range, helping you convert opportunities when it counts.

Waterfowl hunting demands ammunition that cycles reliably in semi-automatic shotguns, and these rounds are engineered to do exactly that. The high-performance base wad and precision plated steel shot work together to minimize deformation and deliver consistent ballistics regardless of weather. Whether you're hunting coastal marshes, inland ponds, or river systems, Fasteel+ Bayou ammunition is built to perform in wet, muddy conditions where other loads might falter.

Each box contains 25 rounds, and the two-box sleeve gives you 100 rounds of ready-to-shoot ammo. That quantity makes it practical for serious waterfowl seasons or for stocking up when you find a load that patterns perfectly through your shotgun. Kent's commitment to precision manufacturing means you get consistent velocity and pattern performance from the first shot to the last.

This is working-dog ammunition for hunters who spend their mornings on the water and need steel shot that cycles, patterns, and hits hard—without fuss or excuses.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will Kent Fasteel+ Bayou 12-gauge work in my semi-automatic shotgun?

Yes. These shells are specifically designed to function reliably in semi-automatic firearms, with a high-performance base wad engineered to cycle properly in gas and inertia-driven systems.

What's the difference between the #3 and #5 shot mix?

The combination of #3 and #5 shot creates layered sizing within each shell. This mixed-size approach optimizes pattern density and uniformity, giving you a more effective spread pattern than single-size shot alone. The larger #3 pellets deliver energy at distance; the smaller #5 pellets fill gaps and tighten the pattern.

Can I use this ammunition in 3½-inch magnum shotguns?

These are 3-inch shells. While many 3½-inch shotguns will chamber and fire 3-inch ammunition, you should always verify that your shotgun's chamber length and owner's manual permit the use of 3-inch loads. Check your gun's marking or manual before shooting any ammunition.

How much ammo comes in one purchase?

Each sleeve contains 100 rounds, packaged as two 25-round boxes. If you order by the case, you'll receive two sleeves for a total of 200 rounds.
