Which Cartridges

[Moors Man]

Hi Everyone

 

I was wondering which are the most popular cartridges out there and what do you pay for them. At present present I have been quoted £105 for 500 Gamebore Clear Pigeon (fibre), £54 for 250 Victory (not sure if plastic or fibre) !! As I shoot mainly clays this has made me cough a bit, I pay about £140 per 1,000 (28g 71/2) I realise I won't match that price (but also an unlikely to be buying 200 a week). I just want a feel if thats about right, as about 3 years I was stiffed into paying £200 per 1,000 for cartridges went after getting a bit of advise the price went down to £120 for better cartridges.

 

Thanks for the advise

Clear pigeon 30g #6 about £50/250 or Eley HB pigeon 32g #6.5 for similar money - both very good cartridges for pigeons/rabbits etc

RC SIPE 32g #5 fibre £58/250

Keep to using clay cartridges for your pigeon shooting , but go up to 6.5s or 6s. RIO trap 28 gr no 6 are about £37.50 for 250 .

I have been shooting Hull comp X 21g for skeet practice recently, but changed to Eley 21g 71/2, as they seemed to be faster and need significantly less lead, and are still only £130/1000. Using 21g Eleys also on sporting clay stands and they don't seem to miss any more than my 24g loads. Sorry, can't tell you about live game though.

Just use your normal 28gm 7 1/2 clay load. They'll do the job just fine.

Have to say more and more people are using this load as the 32gms is starting to get silly prices.

And to be honest Doc,28g 7 1/2 carts are up to the job as long as you keep it sensible,i usually have a 28g in the first barrel and a 30 or 32g in the second barrel,works just fine for me BB

most of my shooting is from a hide with crows/pigeons coming into decoys,hence the 28g first barrel,drops them peeeeerfect

250 gamebore steel 24g 7 1/2, £30 :(

 

a top cartridge.

i was very sceptical until a load a guys sugessted using them. i gave them a whirl on clays and was really impressed. they were very cheap. i`d shoot them all the time if i could. they do kick abit.

 

and they are filthy beggers.

I use Eley VIP 28g 7's. They are by far the best cartridge i have used for sporting and i have used a variety of cartridges since starting shooting clays. I pay around 43 quid per 250.

I use Lyalvale Supreme Game 32g, fibre 6s for pigeons. A great cartridge but the price can be a bit heavy for some. Last time I brought some they were 256.00GBP per 1000

[oldoakknives]

Using Fiocchi 6'S 32G , £48 FOR 250 last lot [2wks ago] work just fine. Had Kent Velocity before that they were fine too.
