sitsinhedges Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 How new? Are you referring to the translucent pink 28gram 7 1/2's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyrus1988 Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 (edited) Do you mean these? http://www.gamebore.com/products/38/12g-velocity-plus Edited July 2, 2015 by Cyrus1988 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris1961 Posted July 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 Not the pink ones they look silver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaun4860 Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 Apparently they are a replacement for the standard velocity, According to the blurb they have been tested on autos with no problems, Only come in 28g/7.5 shot in plastic or fibre Will be interesting to see how much they increase the price by, The old ones are my cartridge of choice for which I pay £44/250 (Fibre) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sitsinhedges Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 The old ones cycle my auto fine and work well. Why would I want something with more recoil that's probably more expensive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motty Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 The old ones cycle my auto fine and work well. Why would I want something with more recoil that's probably more expensive? I would imagine they're pretty much the same as before - probably just another re-branding exercise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caravanman Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 Pretty sure it said in last month's Sporting Gun that the price would remain the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrowningB525 Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 (edited) On facebook, they claimed that they are faster 10fps), and should be cheaper. I genuinely like the pink ones so am dubious of the replacement. It is psychological, but I really favour cartridges where you can see the shot. "Gamebore Cartridges They'll be slightly cheaper than the original Gamebore Velocity loads, despite being a little faster."

Hamster Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 Supposed to be 10 fps faster than before sorry but that prolly means just a different, lighter wad. The current Superfasts are a very good shell for the money, these will in all likelihood be good too but realistically the only reason Gamebore would have done this is on cost (market share) grounds. The brass (steel) looks a tad thinner which is irrelevant really, except in material costs . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaun4860 Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 I don't mind cheaper I will mind if they are a lot punchier, took a while for me to find a 28g cartridge I was happy with after shooting 21g for years The 10ft per second faster won't mean a thing to 99.999999% of shooters Box looks like a quality box , bit like the Black Gold Dark Storm box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
