Cawdor118 Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Our club has just bought in 10000 28gram Hull Comp X cartridges as they were unable to get any hull Superfast 27g cartridgeshpw due to a holdup in production with hull. All I can say is that the Comp X cartridges are horrifically bad compared to the superfasts! They are the equivalent to shooting a party popper in my opinion. 65mm case, ultra slow burning... Not my cup of tea at all. What do you lot think of them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest cookoff013 Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 How do you know they are ultra slow burning? They sound like an economy shell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 they are slow........ but some love them for the low recoil....... if you dont like em don't buy em or send em back to hull and get something else Fiocchi, eley, express etc. I dont like the smell of them.....

shoot and be safe Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 I only use them in my sxs as they have a 65mm case. I use superfast in my o/u only because I can get them cheaper than eley first which would be my first choice. Not impressed with comp x especially in 21 grams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cawdor118 Posted January 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 How do you know they are ultra slow burning? They sound like an economy shell. Because when you shoot them against the HV cartridges they seem VERY "sluggish"... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delburt0 Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 (edited) Can't use comp x anymore my semi don't like them (too short) , I have no problem with superfast gun likes them hit clays with them bought 2 slabs last week Edited January 1, 2014 by delburt0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 I never liked Comp x but a friend shoots very well with them, it's what your used to. Go and buy your cartridges elsewhere, or are you stuck with buying from your club. Figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfred Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 I really like Comp X 21g. Although to be fair I don't have much experience in cartridges, I've tended to use the same few ones I know feel ok. The only ones I've tried that I really don't like are Lyalvale English Sporters.

Me too other 21g cartridges are "punchy" compared to comp x 21g Sluggish? CompX 21g are 1425 Fps hardly sluggish CompX 28g are 1375 Fps Eley 21g first's are 1325 Fps Eley 28g first's are 1350Fps Gamebore evo 21g are 1420 Fps Gamebore evo 28g are 1420 Fps Fastest I have seen is 1500 Fps (superfast are also 1500 Fps however you are paying at least £15/1000 more than me with my 21g Compx, for superfast) What got me with the superfast was that Hull said as they were only 27g we can keep the prices lower, but only recently they increased prices by more than 10% People can get hung up on numbers, shoot what you're happy with, Dont let the numbers put you off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HDAV Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Completion carts any competition ground will allow plas wads they have to iirc. Eley quote a m/s type figure firsts are 405 (1350ish) VIP 475 I think (1550ish) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
