Found two flats of Gamebore Pure Gold 2 1/2 shotshells at a local dealer that he has had for a long time. They are #6 shot, what would that translate in US?
Hi Paul;
Still assuming that Gamebore is loading Brit sizes that would equal US # 6 2/3 size. Good Luck finding them. The closest thing you can find in US sizes is #7 & they won't be found at just any old shop, may have to special order. If you can use that size of shot Snap up those two flats of shells. There is, however, some question as to whether Gamebore is loaded with Brit or US sizes, so if that is critical to you, might need to ascertain for certain.
Sorry, we Got Sidetracked, over about 0.10" vs 0.103" diameter & the resulting 270 vs 299 pellets per ounce. "IF" however, they are loaded with US #6 then they will go to 0.110" size & have about 225 per ounce.
The real question here is NOT the difference between British #6 & US #7, but in fact, it is which system did Gamebore use for their shot size.
