doublegunshop.com - home Forums General Discussion DoubleGun BBS @ doublegunshop.com Any interest in Gamebore 2&1/2" field cartridges?

I have been chatting with the guys at Gamebore USA and while the focus is on competition shells, they would be willing to order a pallet or so if there was enough interest. Pretty hot 2&1/2" field loads, OZ, 1&1/16th and 1&1/8th OZ loads in 5's and 6's at 1350 FPS. They call it the Super Game Hi Bird:

Looks to be a perfect wild Rooster load. I loved the H&H shells loaded by Hull but they are no longer available here in the USA.

16 or 12? I'd be interested in a couple flats, or more if need be.

Cheers,

Looks interesting Steve. Any ideas on pressures?

I've used Gamebore Pure Gold (paper) 2 1/2" 12's on pheasants with good results. 1 1/16 oz Brit 6's (which are about 6 2/3 American size).

Re pressure, if they're 2 1/2", then they'd have to fall within CIP specs for standard proof guns. Maximum service pressure of 10,730 psi as we measure it on this side of the pond. But likely a good bit lower than that.

Steve, I'd be good for a flat of the 5's.

Where are you finding the 1&1/16 OZ loads Larry? I see the one ounce loads listed.

I see they are carrying 2 1/2 game loads in 16 and 28, which is great. If they could add 16 and 28 to their small bore clay loads, it would be perfect.

Where can you buy the Gamebore cartridges? I don�t see US dealers listed.

a different group brings in the Pure Gold
