Trevorevans Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 Awesome shell though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stevo Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 (edited) Yep they are abit on the pricey side. But you do get what you pay for. I used to used them all the time years ago for pigeon and game. Now days will be using them for ABT / OTR. There about the best shell made to my mind. Very very hard shot and wicked fast too. What with the price of decent/performance shells now there's not enough difference in price to loose sleep over. I paid £250 a thou for 24 gram. However 28 gram are like £270 a thou Edited July 27, 2017 by stevo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 Stevo I used to shoot them when they were in bright green cases with 25mm high brass. They were a good cartridge then so were the superbs before they went and altered them. Put me right off them when I tried the redone versions. The fiber wad VIP red cases were the best long range fiber clay cart I've used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ips Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 Very good load and very consistent when I chronod them. I used to shoot them for OT until they went over two hundred quid 😞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stevo Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 (edited) Yeah I know what you mean chaps they really are a corking no excuses load. I'm gonna use them for comps. The 24 gram 1560 fps ? My other fav shells are Hull pro one 24 gram at £240 a thou Fiocchi official trap 24 gram at £230 a thou ( just can't stand the plastic fouling ) So £ 250 a thou is not so bad Edited July 28, 2017 by stevo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest stevo Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 (edited) I was talking to Natasha at priory on sat. She was telling me that fiocchi Are putting there prices up from 1st Aug ( tomorrow ) she has a ready got the new price list. Just carts have already put there prices up.  F blacks £217 F black sporting £230 Official trap £235 Golden trap £250  I use f black 24 gram as a practice shell. But the VIP will be used for comp. the f black is a great little shell but if you was to compare them with say the golden trap there a different world on long fast edge on targets like ABT UT ect ect  I was using a box of Eley VIP 24 gram in 7s on sat ( a mate gave me a box to play with ) on ABT. And I have to say they were pretty F ing fantastic. Edited July 31, 2017 by stevo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
