Now that I have access to RST, I am using my Gamebore for actual hunting and will likely not replace it when it's gone.

Don't forget, Kent has just brought out a lowish pressure 2 1/2" load.


That's a fair point. Until that recent low pressure load, the Gamebores we've seen in this country have been almost exclusively field loads, not target loads.

That being said, 7-8,000 psi isn't particularly high in terms of pressure. Well below the service pressure of 10,730 psi for CIP "standard proof" guns.
