Kent Cartridge's Fasteel+ Precision Plated Steel shotshells represent a breakthrough in high-performance ammunition for duck and goose hunters. These 12 gauge, 3-inch shells feature a binary load with two layers of precision plated steel shot in different sizes - #4 and #6. This innovative design allows the smaller shot to draft behind the larger shot, resulting in tighter patterns and increased lethality. With a muzzle velocity of 1450 fps and a 1 1/4 oz payload, Fasteel+ delivers bone-breaking power and devastating pattern density. The shells incorporate a high-performance base-wad, custom blended double-base powder, and the ultra-reliable CX2000 primer, ensuring consistent performance in all weather conditions and reliable function in semi-automatic firearms.
