Clay Shooters Supply is advertising Game Bore Regal 12 ga 2.5 in shells. Loaded with 1 oz lead shot travels @1225 fps with fiber wads. Anyone know what Pressures (psi) might be?
$179.99 and $9.99 flat rate shipping

Over here we don't worry about all these pressure issues. Mostly all the 2.5" loading are reasonably mild, and sound like they are subsonic when fired next door to you.

I tend to prefer Hull cartridges to Gamebore, but they both are fine.

You probably don't worry about it because you have a greater selection and greater availability.

I bought a case and the recoil was pretty snappy. I called Gamebore USA and the 1400 fps is measured at the muzzle and not the usual 3 feet from the muzzle, which is around 1200 fps. The Gamebore Rep. assured me it was suitable for vintage shotguns. I bought some RST and it had slightly less recoil, but not that much.

I get the impression that the people who develope Gamebore `s 2 1/2" loads have never used a s/side game gun at all ! They`re always `hot` compared to other makers .
Hull Cartridge `Three Crowns` are probably the kindest loading here in UK.Hth.

I contacted the Canadian Kent cartridge distributor and they confirmed with Gamebore UK that the Gamebore Regal shot shells are loaded to the same pressures as their old Gamebore Pure Gold cartridges. See attached 2 1/2 inch cartridge thread discussion (2015). The Gamebore Pure Gold, 2 1/2 inch (12 gauge, 1 ounce) cartridge pressures were recorded as being 7832 psi and 6526 psi for the he paper hull version. "Various 2_1/2 inch loads for damascus"

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know how the Gamebore Super Game High Bird cartridges are for recoil? I see they are labelled on the UK Gamebore website as being low recoil.

That is exactly my understanding as well. Not surprising as it comes from the same source. I know CJO uses Kent Regal regularly in the vintage gins he's shooting. I have a bunch of the Regals and a bunch of RST. I tend to use the Regal when hunting as the recoil from a few shots at wild birds tends not to register. I did the same with the old Gamebore Pure Gold.

Tim. I've used the Pure Gold paper. In fact I still have a few boxes. Mt recollection is they are a bit softer that the standard Regal/Pure Gold, but not as soft as RST.

I have not bought any Regal in paper but would if they were available.
