Bio-Wad

Ultimate performance FOR a greener shOT

Building on the Quad Seal design, the Bio-Wad Gen II is Gamenbore's full cup wad with a uniquely designed section for steel shot. Developed and manufactured in-house at Gamebore, we use a cutting-edge material in our Bio-Wad which is fully water soluble. The Bio-Wad will biodegrade over the course of a season or sooner for 100% environmental safety and a greener shoot. Coloured brown to minimise visual impact in the field throughout the biodegradation period. 

Designed by the Gamebore Innovators

Bio-Wad incorporates all the benefits of the Quad Seal - increased striking energy, improved ballistic consistency and reduced recoil - with the addition of a new and unique cup section to protect guns barrels when using steel shot. 

ribbed petals for complete barrel protection

Gamebore's Bio Wad features a high tech design of four ribbed petals with unique 45 degree overlapping edges, giving complete barrel protection on pellet setback. The ribbing reduces surface friction within the shotgun barrel and increases overall barrel protection - absolutely vital when using steel shot.  

The incredible strength of the Bio-Wad material means we are able to load not only standard steel loads but also high-performance steel cartridges for guns with the appropriate Fleur de Lys proof marks.

THE Green Credentials

The Bio-Wad material is water soluble and fully biodegradable, conforming to the CEN 13432 European standard for compostability. This standard covers:

Ecotoxicity (doesn't impede plant growth)
Heavy metal content (does not contain heavy metals above the permitted level)
Biodegradability ISO 14851 (conducted in an aqueous environment)
Disintegration - Compost (breaks down passing though a 2mm sieve after 12 weeks composting)
