Gordon R Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 (edited) Bought a few thousand of these at Swillington Shooting Supplies at Leeds this week, after someone on here mentioning them. £128 per thousand for 7.5s - plastic wad. Tried some this morning. Nice clean kills, very similar to Eley Olympics. After dusting the first 35 clays, I commented that they were impressive, with the exception of the one without any lead in it. Barrels were clean afterwards. Very slightly punchy compared to Eley. Excellent value for money. Edited October 24, 2010 by Gordon R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salopian Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 It is my understanding that they have one grain of powder more than Olympics but otherwise the same. I like them very much and will use them until they get their price hiked by greedy manufacturers. What is the current excuse for the high prices? If we can buy these at £128 why are other shells in the £200 region? Quality or greed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HDAV Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 No, pressure, in bars. I'll get it done. Can you explain a bit please? Do you have the ability to test the ammunition? Also what the information can tell you to how the carts perform please. If I was close enough to you I would give you some to test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HDAV Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 I have my own lead-crusher pressure testing gun. Thats quite a toy... where are you? If local i don't mind dropping a few off to see the results? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floating Chamber Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 (edited) It's about time you started using it for the greater good Me first Want to trade? 'thought about selling it to b682 or Peter Lawman. Simple to use. Load it, screw down the lead 'crusher' in the yoke, fire the gun. Measure the height of the now crushed lead, look up this height on the chart (provided) and read off the chamber pressure in Tons/sq. inch. Put a chrono in front of it and you have everything! JRS wanted to buy it but I've heard nowt for months! Edited October 27, 2010 by Floating Chamber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HDAV Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 well i fired 101 of them today (found an odd one at the bottom of bag...... they are perfect for driven clays but struggle on quartering birds (or maybe that's me....)

Floating Chamber Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Saving me the trouble, I have it on good authority that they are slightly LOWER pressure than Olympics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted November 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 Used quite a few - so did my son. Still impressed. Knocked over some longish clays with 1/4 choke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
