evolution380 Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 Has anybody used these? And what were your thoughts? A local gun/ammunition supplier to me has recently got these in stock at only £165 a thousand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest stevo Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 (edited) I was using the 7.5 plaswad but in 24 gram for ABT last weekend and thought they were pretty good. Had some good clean breaks. I would buy them again for practice. Also the shells I was using were Italian sizes so an English 7 Edited June 13, 2017 by stevo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evolution380 Posted June 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 Lovely cheers guys, glad to hear that! I think I'll give a Shotgun certificate holder the money to buy me 3000 and hold them for me until my Shotgun certificate goes through. May as well stock pile sooner rather than later!

neutron619 Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 (edited) ... and hold them for me until my Shotgun certificate goes through. He doesn't need to. It's not legal to buy shotgun cartridges without a valid certificate, but there are no restrictions on possession. As long as his certificate is valid and he hands over the money (rather than you), you can carry them out of the shop and load them into your own car.

jasper682 Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 (edited) Good cartridges . Been on em for a year.they were at £150. Now at £170 they don't look as good value against the velocity and superfast and tt1. With fblu at £10 a thou dearer these are what I will be on.

Catamong Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 There is a post on Facebook re these shells, apparently the business is run by an 81 year old Guy who has now been on a 7 day hunger strike over some sort of certification problem, it would appear that the "Big Boys" in French cartridge manufacturing may be ganging up against him, hoping to drive him out of business..?

evolution380 Posted June 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 Quite interesting! I can't find much about them on the internet! Don't know whether to spend an extra £10 and get the Eley Selects! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bornfree Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 I bought a load of them at £140 a thou. Still got 7000 left. They break clays as good as anything else. My mate who is a very good trap shooter uses them as his second barrel load. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GingerCat Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 Are they a english 7.5 or European 7.5? I've shot a couple of slabs and find them just fine if not a little punchy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenG Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 I have used them for DTL and they smash the clays and are very clean burning too. I wish I had bought more when I had the chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figgy Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 For the right price I wouldn't care if it was mixed shot of 6 to 9 sizes they will still do the business on clays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasper682 Posted July 11, 2017 Report Share Posted July 11, 2017 Quick heads up guys. Had a few of these now with very poor report. Phut. Zero and I mean zero recoil. barrel clear afterwards . Check your barrels if you get a funny sounding one. Jasper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
