TIGHTCHOKE Posted December 21, 2016 Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 Did the colour change lead to a price increase? Have you used lots of the red ones before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewi76 Posted December 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 No concern they just been red before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted December 21, 2016 Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 (edited) Red are better faster and harder hitting, everyone knows this. The Blue are only ok for close in birds as they are soft hitting being a lot slower. Cartridge manufacturers should stop messing with them. Could be worse they could be them Black ones they do.

Prospero Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 I bought a slab of Eley Firsts to take some mates on the clays. There were loads of duds in there. And they were red. Pillocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitebridges Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 A number of you will recall Gamebore switching the Clear Pigeon which used to be loaded in a clear case to a black one. I swear they were never as good thereafter. Prospero. I had a dodgy batch of Eley HB Pigeon 32g a while ago. A lot in the slab didn't go off. I wrote to Eley Hawk and they couldn't be bothered to reply. I voted with my feet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GingerCat Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 I got some of these red ones in 6.5 flavour. Very impressed. I recently hit some birds and folded them flat at ranges that I though we're speculative at best. They also cycle through my al390 with ease which I'm pleased with as they are 67mm and not the magic 70. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
