Gamebore Traditional?

Picked up a couple of boxes of the 2 1/2" 16 gauge loads to shoot in my short chambered doubles. Any idea of pressure, and is anyone using these shells in their damascus guns? thanks per the norm.

I have shot a couple of cases of these over the years including from damascus and twist barrelled Parkers. I like the fibre wads. They are CIP rated and are used routinely in the UK in nitro-proofed lightweight damascus guns.

Any thoughts on the pressure of these rounds?

1 oz 16g Gamebore load were tested by Tom Armbrust at 8400 psi. Factory spec is 8150 (amazing what 2 minutes on Google "pressure Gamebore" can tell you) Why don't you contact Kent directly and I am sure they will tell you more...

Thanks Don. I'll give them a ring tomorrow.

I'm surprised the 16 pressures are as high. The IMPACT Tungsten matrix 12ga 2 1/2 paper which I use a lot for ducks over tollers are one ounce 6,500 and 1 1/16 ounce 7,500psi.
