Kent Fasteel 2.0 Precision Plated Steel, 12 Gauge, 3", 1 3/8 oz, BB Shot Ballistics
3-inch shell • 1 3/8 oz of #BB steel shot
Product Overview
Kent Fasteel 2.0 Precision Plated Steel is a 1 3/8 oz, 3-inch 12-gauge steel load made for ducks over open water and geese in hard weather. The shot is BB, zinc-plated steel, at 1,300 fps. Steel runs 7.8 g/cc, which is why a steel load steps up a size or two from the lead shot it stands in for.
That charge comes to about 99 pellets. Free recoil is about 40 ft-lbs in a 7.5 lb gun. Steel pellets do not squash the way lead does, so an older fixed-choke barrel should stop at Modified; past that the choke itself can bulge.
If you're cross-shopping, Remington Nitro Steel 3-inch 1 3/8 oz #2 matches the payload, the speed and the recoil with about 73 more pellets of smaller shot. Kent's own 3 1/2-inch 1 3/8 oz #2 Fasteel 2.0 pushes the same charge 250 fps faster, for about 20 ft-lbs more recoil and a longer chamber.
- Steel is on the federal nontoxic list, which waterfowl hunting requires
- Zinc-plated shot and a nickel-plated head, both corrosion treatments for a shell that lives in a wet blind
- Kent says it is built to cycle in semi-automatics and pumps alike
- At 1,300 fps only the 2 3/4-inch Nitro Steel compared is slower, and steel loses more than denser shot does when it starts slow
- Needs a 3-inch chamber
- BB sits above the #2 and #3 sizes the step-up from lead points at for ducks, so this is a goose load first
