Pretty snappy velocity, compared to something like the RST's. Their 16ga 1oz loads are either 1150 or 1200, vs 1260 for the Gamebores. In 12ga, RST 1oz loads run from 1125 fps on the low end to 1250 on the hot end, with several choices in between. Compare to 1295 for the Gamebores.

I love the 1 1/16 oz Gamebore Pure Gold 12ga loads for pheasants, but they are not pussycats in the recoil department.
