12G White Gold Pro Steel Shotgun Cartridge
STEEL SHOT COMPETITION LOAD
White Gold Pro Steel has been developed for serious clay shooters who demand true competition-level performance from steel shot cartridges.
Designed for international competition circuits, championships and high-level training, White Gold Pro Steel delivers the smooth shooting characteristics, consistent patterns and downrange target-breaking performance expected from a premium competition load, making the transition from lead to steel as seamless as possible.
For shooters already familiar with the performance of White Gold lead cartridges, White Gold Pro Steel offers a natural progression into steel shot competition shooting. Developed to mirror the balanced handling, smooth recoil and confidence-inspiring performance of the original White Gold lead load, it allows shooters to transition to steel without needing to adapt to a completely different cartridge behaviour or shooting experience.
Gamebore Wad System for Steel
At the heart of White Gold Pro Steel is the Gamebore Wad System. A wad technology engineered specifically for steel competition shooting. Unlike conventional steel wads which use simple cut petals, the Gamebore Wad System features injection-moulded 45-degree, overlapping petals designed to keep the steel shot fully enclosed throughout its journey down the barrel, helping protect against pellet contact with the bore and reducing the risk of barrel scoring. Integral ribbing on the wad cup creates additional separation between the shot and barrel wall.
When it comes to steel shot, the wad matters and no one has engineered it better than Gamebore.
Quad Seal Technology
Combined with Gamebore’s Quad Seal gas seal technology for reduced felt recoil and maximum efficiency, White Gold Pro Steel delivers the smooth, controlled shooting experience and reliable downrange performance demanded by today’s serious competition shooters, and tomorrow’s steel-shot era.
Available with bio-Wad
White Gold Pro Steel is now also available with Gamebore’s exclusive Bio-Wad technology. A 100% environmentally friendly, biodegradable wad system developed for shooting grounds where plastic wads are not permitted. Designed to biodegrade naturally out in the open in a similar timeframe to a traditional fibre wad, the Bio-Wad offers a more environmentally responsible solution while causing less long-term harm to the countryside and shooting environment.
Crucially, the move to a biodegradable wad does not mean compromising performance. Incorporating the same barrel-protecting principles as the plastic Gamebore Wad System, the Bio-Wad fully encloses the steel shot charge throughout its journey down the barrel, helping protect against pellet contact with the bore. Combined with Gamebore’s Quad Seal technology, White Gold Pro Steel Bio-Wad cartridges deliver the same smooth shooting characteristics, efficient gas seal and consistent downrange performance that serious competition shooters expect from the White Gold name.
precision steel shot
Soft steel shot to CIP regulations from one of the world's leading manufacturers for exacting standards. Reliably consistent in its sphericity and size for outstanding patterns.
Storage: All cartridges should be stored at room temperature in a dry location. Adverse temperatures may affect performance. Do not expose to extreme temperatures.
STANDARD STEEL: Suitable for all guns bearing Nitro Proof marks from 1954 and onwards.
Standard Steel ammunition can be used in any shotgun (with the exception of those with Damascus/twist barrells) in good order bearing London or Birmingham proof symbols from 1954 onwards. For pre-1954 shotguns guidance will be needed from the British Proof Authority. The shotgun must be chambered for the case length of the ammunition as a minimum. Longer chamber lengths can be used with shorter ammunition.
Storage: All cartridges should be stored at room temperature in a dry location. Adverse temperatures may affect performance. Do not expose to extreme temperatures.
