12G Regal Steel Game

12G Regal Steel Game Shotgun Cartridge

A true 2.5" game load with precision steel shot and Bio-Wad

Introducing the all new, crimp closed 2 ½” steel game cartridge from Gamebore, designed to give the ultimate consistency and performance in a traditional standard steel load cartridge. 

The new Gen II Bio-Wad incorporates overlapping petals and a new ribbed design to keep the body of the wad away from the barrel walls for reduced friction with less recoil and complete barrel protection. The water soluble, fully biodegradable and environmentally certified wad is now in brown to lessen visual impact as it breaks down in the field. 

Precision steel shot for a non toxic alternative to lead

Gamebore’s soft steel is shot to CIP regulations from one of the world's leading manufacturers for consistency in its sphericity and size to deliver outstanding patterns.

Suitable for all guns with 1954 and onwards proof marks, for use with half choke or less. Standard Steel ammunition can be used in any shotgun (other than Damascus/twist barrelled guns), 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.

All cartridges should be stored at room temperature in a dry location. Adverse temperatures may affect performance. Do not expose to extreme temperatures.

 

Specialist Cleaning Instructions: Using a bronze wire brush, remove the excess wad residue whilst dry. Next, spray a mild, water-based household cleaning product such as glass cleaner down the barrels and leave for a few minutes to allow the breakdown of any stubborn residue. Use the bronze wire brush again to remove any remaining streaks, followed by a rag or dry tissue to wipe away the remaining cleaning product. Dry the barrels thoroughly before applying a gun oil.

As with any type of cartridge; barrels and chokes should be cleaned after each use to avoid buildup of residue.

30 Day Infield Degradation

30 Day Infield Degradation

Bio-Wad is injection moulded at Gamebore using a 100% environmentally friendly and hydro soluble material which is approved and accepted by estate managers and landowners, thanks to its quick degradation time and reduced visual impact in the field. The Bio-Wad degrades over 10x faster than any traditional fibre wad on the market. The material is water soluble and fully biodegradable, conforming to the CEN 13432 European standard for compostability.
