ph5172 Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 Has any one used these, all the things i can find on them seems to say they are a waste of money, clog the barrels with **** and are generally not nice... any opinons from those who have used them? If so i take it no one will be entering the Clubman Clay shoot at Althorpe as you have to use D and J... (i might win then!!! lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webber Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 I've used a few thousand, all I can say is that they do the job, they are cheap, they are dirty, and quite punchey. I do feel that the cheaper Eley cartridges are better. webber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony9r Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 Yup... dirty barrels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ph5172 Posted June 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 It was just a question as i was wondering if they are '****' why are they still being marketed and sponsoring events...... you know you would have thought if people thought they were bad Lyalvale would have pulled the plug on them ages ago.

pin Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 They are marketed as a cheap clay load, they have a significant following amongst the more budget concious shooter. I know people who buy thousands of them. It's not a cheap sport clay shooting, and rightly so some people will reduce the cost by buying cheap cartridges. I've heard these going for less than 90 on the 1000 which is quite a bit cheaper than the Hull Sovereign FITASC I like, but I pay about £40 more a thousand, nearly half as much again. Each to their own, I personally hate the things, like black powder they are so dirty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soulboy Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 Dirty and rubbish - CCI claybusters,cleaner,cheaper and better IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ph5172 Posted June 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 Mixed Opinions then. Does anyone know if they are on the Ly Website, or if they have ever been reviewed. And i take it there will be some entrys at Althorpe afterall!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazza Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 I use them on crows and find them ok but like I said they leave the barrels dirty but that's not much of a problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humperdingle Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 If you can handle clogged-up barrels and much more smoke in front of you, then go for it... they hit clays just as well as other carts, but I'd much rather spend an extra tenner per thousand and get a cleaner and less smoky cart.

Fenlander Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 I've used them in 7.5 28gram plastic wad at clays and to be honest they kill well,the only thing I dont like is the recoil,I cant shoot them in my O/U but in my semi they are no problem, I don,t find them a dirty cartridge,and I thnk when people say things like "clogged barrels"that is a massive over exageration! I am shooting the Clubman at Althrope but wont be useing them ! the reason is you don,t have to use D+Js just a as long as you use a cartridge made by Lyvale /express so I will be using what I consider to be a better cartridge, but for practice ,or if you are on a budget,and can stand the recoil.they will smash clays and are as good as most other cartridges in there price range. All the best Mick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mungler Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 Best value for money carts are the Express black ones - can't remember their name but they are less than £100 for a thousand and come in 6, 7.5, 8 and 9's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Elvis Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 I have a shoulder problem and the d&j seems to punch more than my usual express Carts. i also find the Diana's very dirty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
