Gamebore cartridges beware

[Benelli m2]

Gamebore clear pigeon 30 grm fibre beware of these I was using browning maxus s/a yesterday I shot a pigeon but cartridge failed eject looking closer the cap separated from the case leaving the case in the chamber and the cap still hooked on the ejector claw after getting the spent case out all was fine
Out again today with a different shotgun a benelli m2 exactly same happened again these are the silver cap ones 30 grm 6s fibre
The brass cap ones in 32 grm seem fine
Just something to watch out for

I had the same happen with some Black Golds in my U/O, about 3 times, contacted Game Bore was assured they would not over pressure and was told if I take back to gunshop (60 miles round trip) they would replace them for a new box.

There are more cartridges now that are separating in semi autos. We have to advise people if they buy the fiocchi lite speeds to use in a semi auto of the issue also.

I have had 2x Eley missing the primer cap.

I believe all our UK manufacturers use imported cases?

Hull and gamebore use chedite

Eley used maxm but guessing now fiocchi. Think express also new use them.

In 40+ years of shooting only ever used either Game bore Super Game or clear pigeon. Not a single issue ever.

I had a friend buy some Gamebore at Weston Park to use on the clays there. First shot dropped its wad in the last two inches of his barrel. Next shot cleared it out...except it also split the muzzle. Not at all a brand of cartridge I ever buy.

Iv had the same happen with eley, although luckily I noticed and could remove the wad with a cleaning rod.

I had this happen with hull superfast carts. Benelli cycled them fine but the heads were separating from the case. In the over and under they were jamming beyond the ejectors.

Eley are no longer owned by maxam, Nobel Sport own them, so very unlikely to still be using maxam anything.

Have shot thousands of litespeeds fibre wads through my benelli never had one case separate.

Report this to Gamebore they are great to deal with and I will prevent it happening to another shooter
