fendrover90 Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 Zzz this cartridge that cartridge George digweed could tell you the differance between good and bad shell but I doubt anyone on here can just buy what's available and shoot them I think it's hilarious when people worrygut about cartridges it's all user fault when you miss a bad tradesman and his tools e.c.t.

fendrover90 Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 (edited) I'm just saying that you cannot tell the differance between let's say five differant branded 32g 6s which all fall under cip regs so they're all pretty much the same performance wise I think most people are barking up the wrong tree when blaming cartridges for bad shooting performances Colin Edited October 4, 2014 by fendrover90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 (edited) Blimey! I have used the Rio Royals when I've been lucky enough to be given some, they are lovely and much more expensive than the Rio Classic Game shells I used to use. If someone wants to use a "premium" shell on a special day hell why not! I use expensive paper cased game shells (E. J. Churchill HELLFIRE GAME) on good driven days and that gives me a great deal of pleasure, I even give my son good paper cased shells to use and he appreciates that special day just a little more! Im after some rio royal cartridges, after using them before im after some more, not too many but a few. Haven't brought them for a while so am wondering were stocks them in the cambs area?ThanksMatty Matty have you contacted CCI ( Clark Clays International) at Corby, they import the Rios from Spain, that's where I get mine from.

matty* Posted October 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 I never blamed a cartridge for poor shooting i just stated i was after some royals as they are my preferred choice. Where has all this come from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fendrover90 Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 (edited) 'Twas me this is my opinion Wouldn't rate the rio's any better than anything else though just another run of the mill cartridge which is why I don't understand why some get hooked up on a particular brand Edited October 6, 2014 by fendrover90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest stevo Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 Yes that's why I agreed with you, and still do. I also agree to a point , when it come to " mid range " shells , there's nothing in it , however there is a definite difference between a " mid range " and a "top end " example just off the top of my head , im sure someone will give a better comparison ..... gamebore clear pigeon 32 grm # 6 verses Hull High Pheasant 32 grm # 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin lad Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 i would also agree that just about any mid range cartridge will do the job fine if you point it in the right direction but as i said in earlier post there is nowt wrong with having a favourite shell, if you have one you feel confident with (maybe because you had a good day with them the 1st time you used it) then sometimes you shoot better, you hear of people having a bad day for no reason they just get it in their heads that they can't hit anything and inevitably have a bad day, then another time use a different shell no better than the others and have a good day then you go out using said shells full of confidence and seem to hit more, if any of that make's sense that is thanks colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confidence breeds success. I'm not a bad shot. But if I have a bad day. It's usually down to my lack of concentration or application. I like RC Sipe 32gr 6s. Pricey. But for me my favourites. For me the birds drop like house bricks when I use them. Or that's the way it seems. We could talk cartridges till the cows come home. You pay your money. You take your choice.
