goodo123 Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Will we ever get to the point where "scientifically" the best cartridge will exist? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 It already does! Hull cartridges Sovereign in 7 1/2, absolutely smokes the clays! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Livefast123 Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Diana 28 7.5's - The cheapest I could find Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdSolomons Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 You could have a technically perfect cartridge, and it would add absolutely 0 clays to the club (C-AA) shot. It's such a small part of the equation it's barely worth worrying about! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodo123 Posted February 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 I agree it may not improve scores all that much but was thinking of setting a standard load etc which theoretically would be best so people can't blame it on the cart.

Sandbank Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Gamebore White Gold do not appear to hold George Digweed back too much so may be a good choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OvEr_KiLL Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 27g 7.5 Hull Superfast, very nice cartridges and dirt cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malik Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Doubt it. even if something is scientifically the best, Surely its all down to personal preference? And what you intend to use it for? personally 28g 9s on skeet. I think they are wonder carts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grousemoor Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 I don't think it makes much difference, I have no preference between Fiocci, express, Eley Olympics, etc. whatever is cheapest. If you have confidence in a certain make go for it. The only cart I don't like are Hull compx, but that is probably my own fault for missing a few clays with them and losing confidence in them.... If I had to pick....probably Eley Olympics (had to think about that!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Sheen Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 From a strictly scientific point of view it is highly unlikely, however not impossible that the perfect cartridge will ever exist. For example, the molecular engineering of new powders will continue, as will the development of new case materials, and primers and so on. The matter of the fact is that the average shooter will never benefit from these minuscule advancements in material properties that will in tern improve cartridge performance as, at the end of the day, the shooters ability will far outweigh the performance of a cartridge. However at competitive level with the likes of george digweed and others, who miss sub 10 clays per 100, the advancements could possibly be to their advantage. I personally think that many cartridges available today are perfectly adequate for even the best of shooters and that the best way that cartridge manufacturers could possibly improve their product, strictly from my point of view would be to improve the consistency of their product, hopefully, leading to every cartridge being the same and eliminating another variable.

washerboy Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 IF i hit any today then thats the perfect cartridge... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver pigeon 3 Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 The perfest cartridge is one you have total confidence in. Some people seem to be ok with chopping and changing cartridges, but for me if i use the same cartridges all the time it's one less thing to worry about and my scores improve no end.

Gordon R Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 If such a cartridge was ever produced, which gun would you need to use? Same shell - different gun - different result. Pipe dream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steveco36 Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 27g 7.5 Hull Superfast, very nice cartridges and dirt cheap Second that! been using them for a few months now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't matter what he shoots, the worst cartridge is better than the best shooter. I am really disillusioned now! George Digweed shoots Greenfields at Sturry quite a bit. I was hoping if I sneaked some Dan Arms or Baikal shells into his bag and treated myself to White Gold it might even things up a bit. But seriously, I agree with you entirely, few, if any of us can 'out perform' our cartridge choice. But as an answer to the OP question, seemed logical that top competitors are likely to pick a good cartridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OvEr_KiLL Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 arnt top competitors sponsored by the brand of cartridge they use and get them free? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdSolomons Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 They will use the one stated in their contract which will be whatever they can get the best deal. Free cartridges are like rockinghorse****, only applicable for one or two guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJN Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 If you use a lot, then stick to a cheaper cartridge, if you are sponsored or want to pay for it go for an expensive cartridge. However if you stay with the same speed /shot size etc. you'll shoot consistently knowing what lead you require etc. so for me 7.5 dan arms fibre, when I want to play cool eley or express comps difference about £1 a box scores don't go up, but 30 secs of cleaning time saved ;-) M.
