njbowhntr Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 Has anyone used Kent Fasteel? I am looking for some reviews on it before I buy a case of it. Thanks in advance for your responses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bow Hunter Derek Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 Re: Kent Fasteel? I've used it in our early goose season for the past couple seasons. I shoot 3.5" BB's and it dumps geese good. In late season, I switch over to Heavy Shot for maximum knock down on larger birds w/ thicker breast feathers.

Guest 2500HD Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 Re: Kent Fasteel? Best bang for your buck (or duck) shell you can buy IMO. You just reminded my I need to go get some more shells! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clayman Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 Re: Kent Fasteel? It's good stuff, but I honestly can't say that I really noticed any difference between the various other brands I've shot. One of my hunting partners had a bunch of Fasteel this year and his Super Black Eagle wouldn't cycle it. It could have just been a gun issue for him because other guys had no problem with it. Obviously there are a range of factors from choke, shot size, range, etc, but in the end it comes down to how good a shot you are. If you can't shoot a shotgun with any consistency, no brand of ammunition will make you a better hunter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The key is in the above quote and the last line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njbowhntr Posted January 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 Re: Kent Fasteel? Well I used the Kent this past weekend. I was very impressed with how it shot for the cost of a box. Cycled in the 11-87 with no problems at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob LeBlanc Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 Re: Kent Fasteel? I guess I'll be the dissenting vote, here... My group tried it a couple of years ago, and really didn't like the way it performed. We're mainly goose hunters, with the occasional duck thrown in, and it just didn't 'knock' those birds. We've all gone to Remington 'Nitro' steel or Hevi-shot. Personal opinion is that the 1 1/4 oz. high velocity 'Nitro' is hard to beat for a steel load.

carbonhunter Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 Re: Kent Fasteel? Hey Pale_rider.....look up Buckeye Outdoors they carry it and if your in central Ohio the drive cant be that bad, from columbus take 161 east to 79 south, get off on the HW40 exit and head east again...cant miss it on the right. I think Vances shooter supply in C-bus carries it as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gfourhunter Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 Re: Kent Fasteel? my friend uses it and loves it. me, i use super suprem windchester bb 3.5 for both ducks and geese. just like turkey loads they patern best out of my gun, mossberg 935 auto with a patern master choke tube. hard to beat! its not what friends or other people say, its what works best in your gun. every gun is different. good luck ------------- its called hunting, not killing.
