Kent Cartridge has announced the launch of Fasteel+ Bayou Blend. This new shotshell is specifically designed for duck hunters as a "Do-It-All Duck Load," combining high-velocity, precision-plated steel shot with advanced corrosion-resistant materials, for lethal patterns and unmatched reliability no matter the conditions.

Building on the existing Fasteel+ line, Bayou Blend features a layered shot combination of #3 and #5 precision-plated steel shot. Engineered for ultra-reliable performance in harsh conditions, Fasteel+ Bayou Blend promises dense patterns and premium performance at an affordable price. From early-season Teal to late-season mallards, Bayou Blend is designed to cover all the bases with its particularly efficient blend of shot, which contains enough shot for a wide, dense patterns, while still maintaining the dense knockdown power of the big #3s.

  • Corrosion Resistance: Featuring zinc-plated shot and nickel-plated case heads, Fasteel+ Bayou Blend is built to withstand harsh conditions.
  • Premium Components: Includes a high-performance base wad, custom-blended double-base powders, an ultra-reliable CX2000 primer, precision-plated steel shot, and a premium wad.
  • Support for Conservation: In keeping with Kent Cartridge's commitment to conservation, a portion of the proceeds from the sale of Bayou Blend will be donated to Mossy Oak Gamekeeper Grants to support habitat preservation efforts.

Available Loads

  • 12-gauge 3-inch 1-1/4-ounce 1450 FPS
