Deep Dive

Overview

This 410 gauge load is intended for small game and upland-style hunting where shot placement and pattern coverage matter. The 1/2 oz charge is a practical match for 410 bore platforms used in lightweight shotguns. A listed 1,200 fps velocity supports typical field distances for this gauge. This load is commonly used for targets such as dove, quail, and similar upland birds where legal and appropriate. It can also be suitable for small game in environments where shot size and range are matched to the target.

History and Development

Gamebore is a UK-based shotshell manufacturer that produces cartridges for hunting and clay shooting disciplines. The company loads a range of 410, 20, 12, and other gauges with an emphasis on consistent components. This load uses Vectan powder and the Nobel Sport CX2000 primer, which are established component lines within European shotshell production. Gamebore also manufactures its own lead shot to control pellet uniformity and consistency. Component selection and payload structure are typically tailored to intended field use and patterning goals.
