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.

  • 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.
