Chris Bb Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 A local clay ground has been forced by the local council to limit cartridges to 21g due to noise complaints. Regardless of how stupid this is, it's not the weight of lead that makes the noise, we all comply to keep the ground open. Today I shot 50 Hull Comp X 21g fibre cartridges. In 6 years of clay shooting I've never had to clean so much filth out of my barrels. I've recently used Hull Comp X 28g fibre cartridges at another local ground (again due to noise complaints) without the filth problem. I've previously tried all sorts of clay busting cartridges in a "scientific" (saving money) experiment but never found such dirty ammunition. Once this slab is used I'll be looking for an alternative 21g fibre load. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fortune Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 I dont really see why there is an issue with how clean a cartridge burns. As long as they go bang and the target falls down then that's all that matters. I clean all my guns after they have been out so what does it matter how they burn. NOW, if they didn't have any lead in them I would be a bit more concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ttfjlc Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Fiocchi TT21's are good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cookoff013 Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Do you know how hard it is to get clean burning,21g loads? Slow would be quieter, and that is bloomin ard! Whome ever said to use 21s to save noise is a numptyburger. If they Have been forced I'd like to see the flyer or documents. Cos that don't make sense. I really would like to see the documents because 21g loads can be loud. Really loud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger-Mouse Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 I use Gamebore Evo 21gm cartridges, fibre wad, pretty much as standard. They seem pretty clean to me and I even break the odd clay with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpd1309 Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 Hi Are you sure they havent got damp, i used 100 at the weekend at Doveridge, where i bought them, as clean as the pro ones I normally use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rst1990 Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 I've used the comp x in 21 and 28 and found them to be clean also. If the carts are cold and damp this is what you will get, unless you have a duff box? I've cycled through a few slabs bought from different places and never had a problem, Atb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tad-blody Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 Hi, I've used comp X 21g fibre for about 18 months and found them clean too. I have bought R.C. Romagnola 21g this time and find them just as good and cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
