In my old relics I often use the Gamebores in 12 & 16 for hunting - and a little more sedate reloads or RSTs for Target Shooting.

I have found that the Gamebores give me cleaner kills.

I Pole-Axed a few Pheasants with the English number 6s - to my surprise. They seem to work as well as heavier 2 3/4 Pheasant Loads, for me anyways and I was predisposed to believing the Superduper Pheasant Blaster shells in number 5 Shoot worked the best.

Rockie, I've killed a lot of roosters with Brit 6's on this side of the pond--using both Elys when they were available, and Gamebores. I think they're great loads over dogs.

KK, unless Gamebore has changed very recently, they use Brit shot sizes. Their 6's are about 6 2/3 by American shot sizes, and their 7's are our 7 1/2's. Brit 5's are just a little bit larger than our 6's. But if you're shooting their Tungsten Matrix loads, those go by our shot sizes.
