beeredup Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 just looking for some advice really as been using Cheddite universal trap fibre wads for clays and they are really annoying the hell out of me due to the amount of junk/confetti that gets slung out the barrels, this really puts me off if i get a dirty cartridge on my first shot as it distracts me from the second clay. sometimes they are nice and clean and with a crisp report and other times then are very mucky and go off with a whimper. i was just wondering what everyone else uses fibre wad wise? i use plas wads for most of my clay shooting and i am very happy with them they are Victory Challengers and hit hard and are nice and fast. i am looking for a decent clean firing fibre wad i dont shoot fibre too often so some thing fast and clean would be good i am not particular about price as i dont fire enough fibre to worry about cost just want something similar in performance to my challengers if such a load exists?

beeredup Posted May 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 cool i was looking at the Hull superfasts as i had some them in fibre a while back and i am almost sure they were clean i have some comp-x in 21gram for the nephew and they are mucky as hell from the sounds of it i think fibre wads vary from bath to batch?

Frenchieboy Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 Our club uses Fiocchi Cartridges which we get from John Webster of www.norgascartridges.co.uk. (You can PM him on here, his username is webber) They are a nice clean cartridge, fairly hard hitting and no confetti problems with them. Descent value for money and he offers a first class service! Well worth a try mate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlaserF3 Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 Hull Pro fibre are one of the best on the market, not the cheapest though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floating Chamber Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 Put the tubes in the right place and Lyalvale English Sporter/DanArms Fibre will do the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beeredup Posted May 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 if i could ignore all the crud flying around infront of me the Cheddites would do the job i am off to Malmos to see what they have got in stock and have a play with some fibre tomorrow still need to flip a coin to see which gun to bring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlaserF3 Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 Lyalvale are a good price at Kelbrook, I use them myself when I have to shoot fibre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 Try Gamebore Blue Diamonds, that's what I use when having to use fibre wadded carts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevorevans Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 Eley 'Blues', been using them for a few weeks now and they seem a very good cartridge and have yet to feel like I'm at a wedding. Seen my scores improve slightly too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwizard Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 I,ve been using Eley first,s in 12 gauge and Eley hawks in 20 gauge and seeing as I hav,nt done any clay shooting for around 20 years up until this month I seem to be doing ok with them .

Blunderbust Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 Hull superfast, cant say I have noticed much muck with them and at £38 a slab you cant complain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beeredup Posted May 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 yeah Blunderbust i been to visit Malmos and came away with a few slabs of Superfast in fibre to try out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iced Tiger Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 I tried the Cheddites in fibre and came across the confetti issue, I use the Eley Firsts in fibre now, almost the same price at Malmos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beeredup Posted May 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 yeah i nearly went for eley firsts as i have used them in the past along with the super fasts these were the same price as the eleys but are a higher fps like the plastic wad victorys i also use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaun4860 Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 I use comp X and they a bit confetti'ish but I'm ok with them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beeredup Posted May 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 yeah i find if i get a mucky fibre cartridge as my first barrel it totally puts me off the second target as all the crud in the air seems to distract me, if i remember rightly the Superfast are a clean cartridge? anyone got and opinions on if they are also confetti cannons?

shaun4860 Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 I dont think they are as bad confetti wise but a lot punchier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del T Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 I got the impression you quite enjoyed shooting the cheddites on Sunday. Lol :-) And It reminded me & manda of our wedding day. The eley firsts are good but i wouldn't mind trying the express fibre as I like their plas carts.Cheap from kelbrook too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OvEr_KiLL Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 the hull superfast fibres are not as confetti as some of the others out there, but remember most fibres will have a little bit, i have used the hull superfast fibres and now im using eley first fibres which actually are pretty clean, if i had the choice i would definitely go for the hulls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beeredup Posted May 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Yeah i have used 200 of the superfasts now and they are a nice clean cartridge so think i will be shooting these all the time now and just use the one type of cartridge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 I was told the reason you get the confetti effect is because the cartridges have been stored where it's damp.. Don't know if it's true or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cookoff013 Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 I was told the reason you get the confetti effect is because the cartridges have been stored where it's damp.. Don't know if it's true or not. i doubt thats true, my reasoning is, if it had been stored damp, that could affect the cartridge burn /pressure /etc. i am more inclined to say that the speed the modern shells are coming out at too fast, ultra fast shells just disintegrate the wad. i may load some up, and see whats happening.
