Deep Dive
Overview
This load is intended for shooters who want a comfortable 20 gauge target ammo option for structured practice or competition. The fibre wad suits clubs that limit plastic wads, while the 7/8 oz payload offers a steady rhythm that helps maintain control during long rounds. Shooters who use 20 gauge ammo for its lighter handling will appreciate how this cartridge combines speed with predictable pattern behavior. The load also suits newer competitors who need a softer recoil option as they build confidence on the range.
History and Development
Gamebore produces its cartridges in Great Britain with a focused approach to innovation driven by ongoing research and testing. Their team refines shot quality, wad design, and ignition performance to keep patterns consistent across clay or field disciplines. Many key components are produced in-house to maintain uniformity, which supports predictable recoil and accuracy. Gamebore also invests in sustainable options, such as fibre wads or lead-free alternatives, to meet evolving requirements at modern shooting grounds. This steady commitment to improvement helps the company create cartridges that balance comfort with strong on-target results.
