Gamebore have launched two new 12 bore professional level clay cartridges for the 2023 competitive clay season: the Dark Storm Onyx and the Rose Gold Pro Comp.
12G Dark Storm Onyx
The new Dark Storm Onyx is the ultimate performance competition load – in the first week of being launched it helped to secure High Gun wins for George Digweed, Mark Winter, and Brett Winstanley.
Designed with the most extreme sporting clay and FITASC targets in mind, the Dark Storm Onyx builds upon the exceptional performance of the original Dark Storm load, delivering devastating performance and superb patterns at the longest of ranges.
The Gamebore Wad System in the Dark Storm Onyx features Quad Seal technology and is available in both fibre and a High Density Polyethylene. The High Density Polyethylene option further improves the wad’s seal for ultimate consistency, performance and pattern, whilst reducing the felt recoil.
The shot found in this cartridge is the new Diamond Shot Extra. This is a harder pellet which has been graded even further for perfection in size and sphericity – it was perfected in-house so Gamebore can ensure total quality control.
Thanks to the new and exclusive top-of-the-range RS propellant the muzzle velocity is 1,600 feet per second. This propellant gives the highest possible performance whilst remaining comfortable for the shooter. The head of the cartridge has been black nickel plated for a smooth, consistent and reliable ejection every time.
| Load (grams) | Shot Size | Wad | Length | Muzzle Velocity (fps) | Velocity (fps V1) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 28 | 7.5, 8 | Fibre Quad Seal | 20/70mm | 1,600 | 475 |
| 28 | 6.5, 7.5, 8 | Plastic Quad Seal | 20/70mm | 1,600 | 475 |
Rose Gold Pro Comp
The Gamebore Rose Gold Pro Comp cartridge will appeal to fans of the now discontinued Blue Diamond loads. This is a professional level performance competition load that has been carefully crafted to give the ultimate in consistency, performance, and pattern with extra smooth recoil.
These cartridges deliver the very best pattern thanks to Gamebore’s exclusive Diamond Shot which has been graded 5 times then polished in a revolutionary method to produce pellets which are perfect in their consistency, sphericity and size.
With the same build as the multiple world championship winning White Gold load, the Rose Gold Pro Comp also features the same high quality components with the addition of a new blend of Vectan powder. This has been specially designed exclusively for Gamebore to be delicate on the shoulder without compromising on energy at range; the Rose Gold allows you to compete at the highest level without fatigue or discomfort.
| Load (grams) | Shot Size | Wad | Length | Muzzle Velocity (fps) | Velocity (fps V1) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 24 | 7.5 | Plastic | 16/70mm | 1,400 | 395 |
| 28 | 7.5, 8 | Plastic or Fibre | 16/70mm | 1,420 | 412 |
