Deep Dive
Overview
The Gamebore Pigeon Extreme #7.5 load is built for pigeon and upland hunters who regularly face longer shots and tougher birds. The heavier 1 1/4 oz payload combined with #7.5 shot offers an ideal balance of pellet count and individual pellet energy, making it especially effective at extended field ranges. This cartridge excels in driven pigeon scenarios, open-field decoying, and upland environments where birds flush farther out. Designed to perform reliably in modern 12 gauge shotguns, it delivers consistent patterns and dependable knockdown while maintaining controlled recoil for its payload class. For shooters who prioritize reach, pattern integrity, and clean kills, this load is purpose-built to meet those demands.
