Kent Cartridge's Fasteel+ Waterfowl 20 Gauge ammunition represents a breakthrough in high-performance shotshells for duck and goose hunters. These 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 1 oz payload traveling at 1350 fps, these shells deliver devastating pattern density and uniformity at bone-breaking velocities. The Fasteel+ line incorporates superior components, including a high-performance base-wad, custom blended double-base powder, and the ultra-reliable CX2000 primer. Designed for all-weather performance and reliable function in semi-automatic firearms, these shells give waterfowl hunters a significant edge in the field.
