powenb Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 I always use the cheapest Eley First 28g 8's I can find. The cheaper they are the more I can afford to shoot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuartyork Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Tightchoke makes an interesting point. I agree you should when possible shoot with a cartridge that you are confident with. Kent's, comp x, superfast,t Fiocchi and many others are all reasonable inexpensive rounds. As with all in life, generally you get what you pay for. Confidence, I think is the most important component in your choice of cartridges. There are pros and cons with all ammunition If a cartridge doesn't kick you to death and patterns well on a pattern plate, then you should start to get consistent results with it if you shoot enough to learn it's limitations. Try not to shoot a box of cartridges and then discard it. Use the same gun/cartridge combination and shoot lots of rounds. Don't get hung up on one specific part of your shooting i.e. Chokes, Cartridges or barrel length. Good stance, gun mount and shooting lots will help more than chopping and changing cartridges. I can't work out why anyone would shoot with a cheap round for practice then change to another for competition shooting. On the subject of dirty cartridges. Is it important if a cartridge leaves more **** in your barrels. It's never going to build up. The next cartridge fired will clean it out. And then of course at the end of the day you're going to clean your gun anyway so why worry? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MITCHF Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 (edited) 28g Gamebore Blue Diamond Never change, use them for everything. Edited March 17, 2013 by MITCHF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuartyork Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 I think Blue Diamond are one of the best on the market. Gordon recoil system diamond hard lead shot. Hard hitting, excellent pattern and gentle on the shoulder, not the cheapest, but well worth the outlay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
washerboy Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Used the intercomp and they were gentle on the shoulder and £44 for 250. So im going to stick with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seano1uk Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 I love the Fiocchi FBlack 24g 7.5, nice clean breaks (when I do hit them) and easy on the shoulder. Used to use 28g Express Super Comps but found them really punchy. FBlacks about £180/1,000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debo Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Im using trust sporting at the moment 40 quid a slab cant fault them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunray Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Just got back from Doveridge, shot 100 28g Comp X. Easy on the shoulder and a clean cartridge. A friend with a back injury changed to 21g Comp X and swears by them. Usually 28g of any cartridge causes him problems. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superspark Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 I use Diana 28g 7.5 I pay £135 per thousand. I find them a little punchy but still have bloody good fun with them and cleaning the gun afterwords is no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deershooter Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 Why are most people shooting cheap cartridges the price difference is £1 per box thats a maximum of £4 on a 100 bird shoot 20 registered shoots a year only £80 difference Trust me I have been there had a whole year shooting cheap cartridges and won nothing went back to Express Super Comps and the money came rolling in you need confidence in your cartridges if you ever not sure that "will this break that clay " its time to change Deershooter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
