Gamebore Black Gold Trap Cartridges

Gamebore Black Gold 28g 7½’s

Not officially a dedicated trap load but when it comes to long-range kills you’ll go a long way to better Gamebore’s awesome Black Gold competition load. Possessed of near legendary ability, the best way to describe Black Gold performance is ‘scorching’ irrespective of whether you’ve elected for plas or fibre wads, as their flagship ammo Gamebore ensure the best of everything in included in the Black Gold mixture.

Charged up with polished 7½’s, T2 propellant and a fast burn primer, the mean average observed velocity never drops below 1,278 fps which combined with a 91% average pellet count gives you one of the fastest, meanest trap loads available. Downside is they can kick a bit, which is why Gamebore have incorporated the Duncan Recoil Reducer into each cartridge, the black plastic ring that runs round each head acts as a deformable shock absorber. Regrettably, power like this comes at a price so expect to pay about £6.05p per box of 25.

if you get your kicks on being kicked and hammered by these very expensive shoulder busting shells then buy these. personally i would prefer to buy ELEY VIPs as these are smoother with excellent kills on clays and game alike. if gamebore could make the BLACKGOLD soofter on the shoulder then there price would be some what justified.
