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: https://gamebore.com/uk/cartridge/game/12g-super-gameLooks 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.
