Eley Superb Competition

[454697819]

It may well be some sort of placebo effect spending more money than I usually do on cartridges, and this probably merely coincided with me having a good round, however I went to High lodge on Tuesday and bought 6 boxes of these @ £5.20 a box (20.8p each) 28g 7.5

I was impressed with the feel of the cartridge and the breaking ability (I guess that's what you call it), I was shooting from a well used Miroku o/u 12g.

 

I compared it directly with some Hawk competition cartridges which I shot with last time and the Hawk's just felt "bad"

 

Any way, no science behind it however I would recommend picking some up and giving at least one box a try, I have now found my cartridge of choice.

 

Cheers

Went through a couple of thousand last year. Decent shell, but not so superior to the Olympics, to justify the price differential.

I have used the 8's for a few years, I like the feel of them but they don't make me shoot any better, I will probably try Firsts next time round as Superbs are bit pricey now.

I totally agree with gordon, i started using olympics because they were cheap @ £140 / thousand

and am now on the superbs because the olympics went up to £150 / thousand and the superbs were

£160 / thousand. I havnt noticed much difference apart from superbs are slightly faster and have more recoil.

Superbs are now nearly £190 / thousand so i think olympics will be my next choice.

I usually shot Olympics too but have run out and my local only had Superbs today so I'll see how I get on in the comp tomorrow. Here's hoping an extra £10/250 will add another couple to the count

Wish I hadn't bothered, much prefer the feel of the Olympic's recoil over the Superb's. First time with new carts on Comp day was a bad idea

Try the new 28 gram HULL PROSPORT in 8s. They will blow your mind in every way.

Are the Prosporting any different to Pro Ones?

[COACH]

Yes, they are a new different cartridge the HULL PROSPORT :blink:

It`s basically the DTL300 that has been tuned for sporting.

It`s a long range, recession busting, sporting cartridge with 5% antimony, so its hard hitting but low on recoil.

Serious stuff this one.

[Emmsy]

and probably serious price to go with it :blink:

 

gonna stick to the FOB's, done me well for the last about 5 odd years

[COACH]

Pop into Greenfields in Salisbury and find out.

I was quoted £160 per thousand and that for a 5% antimony and 1425 fps is fantastic. :blink:
