Kent Cartridge Reintroduces Fasteel® Classic Limited Edition for 2026

Kent Cartridge is bringing back one of its most requested waterfowl loads with the return of Fasteel® Classic Limited Edition for 2026. Built on the legacy that helped define modern steel waterfowl ammunition, this limited offering delivers the same pattern consistency, hard-hitting steel payload, and dependable ignition hunters have counted on for years.

Built with the original gray hull and high-brass head, Fasteel® Classic Limited Edition returns with the unmistakable appearance that made it a favorite among generations of waterfowl hunters. More than a nod to the past, it brings back the proven load configuration hunters remember from blinds, marshes, and fields across North America.

Loaded with a 1 9/16 oz payload of #1 steel shot at 1300 FPS, Fasteel® Classic Limited Edition delivers the pattern performance and downrange energy that made it a go-to choice for ducks and geese. Whether targeting late-season mallards or finishing geese over decoys, it provides the confidence hunters expect when the moment arrives.

Fasteel® Classic Limited Edition stands apart as a true classic among steel waterfowl loads. It is built for hunters who value reliability, field proven performance, and appreciate a load that has earned its reputation one season at a time.

Available loads include:

12ga 3 ½" 1 9/16 oz 1300 FPS #1
