Kent Fasteel+ Bayou 12Ga 1-3/8Oz #2X4 100/2
The Kent Fasteel+ Bayou 12-gauge shotgun ammunition delivers reliable steel shot performance for waterfowl hunting and other applications where steel shot is required or preferred. This 3-inch shell carries a 1 3/8 oz payload in a mixed #2 and #4 shot combination, optimized for pattern density and uniformity across your target. Loaded to 1450 fps, Fasteel+ Bayou is built to cycle smoothly in semi-automatic shotguns and handle variable hunting conditions without hiccup.
Kent's precision-plated steel shot and purpose-designed base wad work together to reduce deformation and maintain consistent ballistics downrange. The layered shot sizes are engineered to throw a denser, more uniform pattern than single-size loads, giving you better odds on passing birds and distant targets. Whether you're working marsh or coastal habitat, Fasteel+ Bayou ammunition is formulated for all-weather reliability—moisture and temperature swings won't compromise performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will Kent Fasteel+ Bayou cycle in my semi-automatic shotgun?
Yes. Kent designed Fasteel+ Bayou specifically for reliable function in semi-automatic firearms, with a high-performance base wad that supports consistent feeding and cycling.
What is the shot size, and when should I use it?
Fasteel+ Bayou uses a mixed #2 and #4 load. This combination is typical for waterfowl hunting, where #2 shot is often the standard for larger ducks and geese, and #4 is suitable for smaller ducks and general waterfowl applications. Always check your local regulations, as shot size rules vary by season and location.
How is this ammunition packaged?
Fasteel+ Bayou ships in bulk: two sleeves of 100 rounds each (200 rounds total per case). Individual 25-round boxes are also available if you prefer smaller quantities.
Why use steel shot instead of lead?
Steel shot is required or strongly preferred in many waterfowl hunting areas to protect wildlife and ecosystems. Fasteel+ Bayou's precision-plated steel shot and optimized payload deliver reliable performance in conditions where steel is your only option.
