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

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.

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

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.
