Kent Cartridge is bringing back one of its most requested waterfowl loads with the return of Fasteel Classic Limited Edition for 2026. 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 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 makes it a go-to choice for ducks and geese. Whether targeting late-season mallards or finishing geese over decoys, this is a load that promises to perform.
