MAB1954 Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 Another thumbs up for FBlack. The cases reload very good as well, better crimps than Cheddites in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walt1980 Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 Just tried a slab of them on clays in 7.5, impressed! As good as Gamebore white gold in my opinion. Softer on recoil than Black gold still seem to hit as hard. Softer on the wallet as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokersmith Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 The 24g's are great .... using them on trap and feeling no disadvantage to 28g whatsoever. Plus next to no recoil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamster Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 No cartridge does what it says on the box Correct - I've used them and like them but a tad too loud and not as soft as all that. As Stevo says the English 7's will be mustard on pigeon, mates of mine use the English 8's on clays regularly and the breaks are very impressive.

Velocette Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 Strangely,,I opened a couple of cartridges yesterday afternoon to check the shot count and found that the Fiocchi Pigeon 32g No.6 had aprox 280 in it. The Eley 30g No.6 branded by Swillingtons had,,,,,,,,,,,,you guessed it,,,,,,,aprox 280 in it,,,all quite smaller than the Fiocchi. Either the Fiocchi has oversize shot or that Eley has small ones.

tigger got stichs Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 I'm sure I read in a mag some time ago that fiochis loaded for the English market would have eng shot sizes in them but that must of been the game shells only,i thought that the difference between eng and conti sizes was 1/2 ie conti 8= eng 7 1/2?

Velocette Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 Did you measure the shot or weigh it ? I counted the shot from each cartridge and visually compared them,the Fiocchi were clearly larger than the Eley, If I think on I'll measure them later today.
