JohnfromUK Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 (edited) I tried some of those and found them VERY punchy and uncomfortable to use, I do know that they are ceasing production of them as they are taking sales off their other budget cartridges, so either stock up now or switch to something else I'm surprised you found Imperial uncomfortable; I have found them to be one of the most comfortable, used in an AyA No 1 mainly ..... also very effective. I would also not consider them 'budget' at near £300/1000. Edited November 28, 2016 by JohnfromUK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 Eley Imperial - less than half of the Hull version price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnfromUK Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 Think you might be confusing Hull imperial game with the budget imperial she'll from elsewhere...You are quite right - I hadn't realised there was 'another' Imperial. Hull Imperial Game version gets a recommendation from me anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shalfordninja33 Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 I used a box of express power blue followed by a box of comp X in 28gm and I couldn't believe the difference, Comp X were much softer. I've gone off the whole superfast/velocity thing. I'm much more comfortable with a softer recoiling cartridge. I had a lesson recently and used the 21gm comp X. They broke the highest clays at the Fennes in Braintree no problem. I used 32gm RC sipes for my game shooting last year, I've gone back to 30gsm Hull high pheasant and they're much more pleasant!

Count Zero Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 I have shot a lot of CompX (9 - 28g) for skeet and have been really impressed with them. In the last couple of years, I have probably shot 30-40,000 rounds. They seem to pattern well (at 20m with a Bertetta 692); have little recoil (the 21g shot well too with even less recoil); leave little dirt in the gun (most of what is left behind is a small amount of plastic fouling); pretty reliable (I tend to get one dud in approximately 10,000 rounds which seems good to me); and they are good value for money. A couple of shooters that I have bumped into have referred to them as a training cartridge (whatever that means!) and, despite trying other cartridges, I always came back to using CompX. In terms of price and performance, they seem pretty good. Having said all of that, I have very recently changed to ProPiston. These seem a little punchier and I am getting better kills, but they are significantly more expensive. I wouldn't surprised if some (or all) of this is psychological, but the combination of the cartridge, the gun and the way that I shoot seem to work for me. Just my 2p!
