chrispti Posted April 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 I'd pay the extra £12 for gamebore clear pigeons myself Just comming to the end of my last 1000 clear pigeon, and Im not overly impressed with them to be honest They are ok for decoying and killing at decoying ranges, any thing else, I they think they perform poorly. It could be a case of they dont pattern very well in my gun, who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitebridges Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 (edited) I recently bought 500 of these Express Chasse loads from an RFD in Norfolk and they work pretty well. Not the best in the world but they do the job. They are only a 2 and a half inch case and are ideally suited to lighter guns. The JC price for 500 is fifteen quid out and I didn't pay deliver charges. Edited April 1, 2012 by Whitebridges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
englishman-in-wales Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 (edited) Personally i prefer to pay a bit extra and get them from my local dealer, the price includes a cup of coffee a good old chat and years and years of experience and tips along with a wealth of local knowledge..

LondonLuke Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Appreciate probably no right answer to this, but could someone recommend a CHEAP clay cart on the JC website? I need them for Sat and have no way of picking up, hence having to bite the bullet cartridge on delivery. I have a 70mm by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dougall Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 LondonLuke, The Just cartridges own branded clay cartridges are excellent,I have just been through 1000 of their fibre 7.5s on sporting clays and think they are as good as any premium brand. I dont know if they fit your definition of 'cheap' but about £200 per 1000 delivered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
