rich1984 Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 Just about through the last of the hull super fast i bought, looking at a local supplier and they have Maxam Imperial Trap 28g Cartridge Fibre 7.5 at £138 per 1000, anybody use these and give a review ? Seem good value for money and a fibre wad aswel. Price: £138.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matone Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 Certainly as good as Superfast,probably slightly more pleasant to shoot too.Good value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich1984 Posted March 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 (edited) I found the superfast were very thumpy through my silver pigeon but through my lanber sporter they're fine. Can't seem to find much info on the maxam's. If like you say they are more pleasant to shoot and £30 a 1000 cheaper, they must be work a go !

gemini52 Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 I used some last weekend,quite impressed to be fair,i paid 136 quid a thousand, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
14Supersport04 Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 I use them and think they are great. Im no expert so i cant tell you all the details but they consistently break the highest clays on all three of sporting targets' high towers!

figgy Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 I've used a few thousand and they shoot very well with good breaks. Patterns can open a bit up at range. They kick more than Suoerfast as that has been my cartridge of choice for a few years now still have some. Bought the Imperials due to cost and more grounds going fiber only. Apart from a few misshapen and one with no primer I can't fault them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich1984 Posted March 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 Picked up 2k earlier, hopefully get out over the weekend to give em a go !, ill post a review if i manage to get out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich1984 Posted March 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 Been out today and shot 150, 1st impressions are they are a decent cartridge, they performed equally as good as the superfast on the close and mid range clays i did think that breaks on the high towers were not quite as good as the superfast but they still broke when i did my bit !, recoil i thought was less, slightly better than the superfast when a tried 4 maxam then 4 superfast only slight but noticable. All in all for £138 a 1000 you cant go wrong. I was using a lanber sporter with 1/2 & 3/4 chokes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cookoff013 Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 There really isn't any bad cartridges these days. Wouldn't surprise me if they were made by Rio via maxam group. Drop em cheap on the market ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 (edited) Cook your probably right but looking at them they are not fantastically made some are bent out of shape and the crimps on some are poor. Some others have a bit of the primer copper rim bent over the primer. So it pays to look at them before closing your gun and risk any possible damage. I will post a picture later. Still shoot well just need a little feeling first. Edited March 14, 2016 by figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westley Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 Halfway through 1000 of the new Kent cartridges. They are a series of Roman numerals that translates to 2016 ! I bought the plastic wad, but they are available in fibre at around the same price as the Imperial. I have shot them through my Beretta 303 auto without any misfires or misfeeds, they break clays very well and are very clean, no bits in the action. Just in case you are unable to source the Imperials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
