- Caliber-Gauge:
- 12 Gauge
If you hunt waterfowl or upland game with a 12-gauge semi-automatic and need dependable steel shot that patterns clean and hits hard, Kent Fasteel Plus 3.5" loads deliver the performance you're after. These 12GA 3.5" shells pack 1.5 ounces of precision plated steel shot—available in BB and #2—designed specifically to function reliably in modern autoloaders without the hassle of oversized wads or feeding issues.
Kent's layered shot approach (mixing BB and #2 sizes in the same load) is engineered to pack denser, more uniform patterns across the board. That matters when you're swinging on a greenhead or pushing through brush: tighter pellet clusters mean more consistent hits at the ranges where most hunting happens. The high-performance base-wad design absorbs recoil and protects your barrel while maintaining velocity, and the all-weather plating resists corrosion—critical if you're loading up before a pre-dawn push or a rainy field day.
At 1450 FPS, these loads sit right in the sweet spot for steel: fast enough to reach out, not so hot that you're beating up your gun or pushing beyond what semi-auto actions are built to handle. Whether you're scouting a new marsh, managing a dove field, or stocking up for opening week, a box of 25 (or a case of 250) keeps you in the pattern.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will Kent Fasteel Plus 3.5" shells work in my semi-auto shotgun?
Yes—Kent designed these loads specifically to function reliably in semi-automatic firearms. The high-performance base-wad and 1450 FPS velocity are optimized for autoloader cycling, though always verify your gun's manual for 3.5" chamber compatibility.
What's the difference between the BB and #2 shot in this load?
Kent layers both sizes in a single shell to create a denser, more uniform pattern. BB is larger and carries energy farther; #2 fills gaps and tightens the spread. The combination gives you versatility across typical hunting ranges.
How many rounds are in a box, and can I buy larger quantities?
Each box contains 25 rounds. Cases of 250 are also available if you're stocking up for the season.
Are these steel loads safe to shoot in any shotgun?
Steel shot is required in many waterfowl areas by law and is ideal for non-toxic hunting. However, always confirm your shotgun is rated for steel ammunition—check your manual or contact the manufacturer if unsure.
