Gordon R Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 Too costly for what they are. There are far cheaper shells which will do the same job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 I have used a few thousand Velocity. Decent cartridge at a good price. Just moved on to Fiocchi Top 1s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobbyGee Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 If its Gamebore you're after, try the EVO. I think they're as good as the Blue Diamond and smoother than the velocity. The last 1000 that I bought (fibre wad) were £186 from SCATS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Mongrel- Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 Are they really 25% better than RC2's or similar, because that's the cost difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bb Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 I've used them for the last couple of years and like them. Recently, however, they've become very expensive. I tried Evo's but didn't find they patterned as well, I've now settled on Hull Superfast, £176 vs £205 per 1,000 (fibre). A bit of a no-brainer, really.

-Mongrel- Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 .... I've now settled on Hull Superfast, £176 vs £205 per 1,000 (fibre). How do you find them? My lad was shooting with some today which looked punchy, tried a couple and they certainly kick harder than the RC2's I was using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Bb Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 How do you find them? My lad was shooting with some today which looked punchy, tried a couple and they certainly kick harder than the RC2's I was using. To be honest, I can't tell the difference. The BD's are advertised at 1430 fps & the SF's at 1500 so there must be some difference but I think they're both considered punchy. And I don't believe that the little bit of plastic in the BD's makes a jot of difference to recoil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackthorn Posted December 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 well tried 50 of each to day blue dimond and velocity, the blue dimond were realy smooth and i shot a lot better with them, think i will get the blue dimond its only once a month that i will use them the other place i shoot is plas wads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
