buggs Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 Our local club sell them, dirtyest thing iv ever used and I'm sure only 50% have lead in them lol my favourite clay cartridge at the moment is the English sporter by layvalve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garrod Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 I bought some just before Christmas on offer a slab and box of clays £35 so can`t go wrong! Used my Escort semi and it never jammed once and I had no problem with them. I`m a game shooter not a clay expert so good enough for me at that price.

rwade545 Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 (edited) I really DONT like them. Got a slab in a deal when I bought a gun and think the dealer was trying to get rid of them. The perceived recoil on my part was on a par with 32gram hunting loads, there was a fair amount of smoke when you broke the barrels and on a few occasions I had a long flame shoot out the barrel. When it came to cleaning there was a large amount of almost fibrous stuff in the barrels ( made me check to see if it was the brush disintegrating). The clays still broke so guess they work. personally I will use my usual dealer who does eley olympics at £38/250. Find them a softer cartridge and never had any issues and only marginally more expensive them these. The 32gram number 6 fibre diana however have done ok at controlling vermin / snowmen for me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAtncIQKbQ8&feature=youtu.be Edited February 3, 2013 by rwade545 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
escortmagnum999 Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 bywell shooting ground are selling diana 30 grm 6s at the minute, i bought 250 i must admit they seem good. Same kill ratio for me as clear pigeons, hulls, eley etc. If i was getting clay shells at that price id be more than happy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livefast123 Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 (edited) It's all I use for clays at the moment, picked up 1000 28g 7.5s from the Sportsman at Exeter for £142. I don't find them any dirtier than any other cartridge i've used but they are a bit punchy, I kill as many clays as I did when I used Eley First or Comp X. At the end of the day it's where you put the lead that counts, not what flashy packaging it comes in.

maddog546 Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 If they are leaving fowling in your gun,they are damp!!!! Ive used 1000s of them and the barrels hardly show any signs of being fired.Got to admit the loading is a little bit hit and miss as some slabs do give you a good shove.
