Scully Posted February 28, 2019 Report Share Posted February 28, 2019 (edited) I'm not sure if there is a 'bad' cartridge out there to be honest; much depends on what your gun likes. We can all have bad days and it doesn't take many to start us thinking it's the cartridge and in some cases the gun...usually the chokes get it first! I bought Gamebore Blue Diamond last time out at 132 quid for 500, and mate went for Smart Strike at 122 for 500, or somewhere around those prices. I shot full and full with 28grm 8's and he shot 24 gym 7.5's through quarter. Although I was powdering some, I have to admit he seemed to be getting the more consistently impressive breaks overall. So was it the cartridges? The chokes? The gun? The shooter? My money would be on the latter. Edited February 28, 2019 by Scully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamster Posted February 28, 2019 Report Share Posted February 28, 2019 1 hour ago, Millomite said: Just wondering about 9s and their ability to break the longer stuff Good breaks at close to medium range but they struggle to break real edgy quartering or going away stuff at longer range, there's a reason you never see serious shooters use them exclusively, some do carry a few for close range targets believing they "open up" the pattern but there's nothing they can do that a 7.5 or 8 won't do. If they're cheap buy them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokersmith Posted February 28, 2019 Report Share Posted February 28, 2019 I use a lot of the Fiocchi Bior 9’s (8.5’s). They do give a wider pattern than others I use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest cookoff013 Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 Man, I love 24g #9. The 28g #9 should be exellent, but I use f/f chokes or f. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloyd90 Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 What are the CSP carts like generally? £199 for 1000 of their club ones (fibre) in 7 1/2. £238 I think for 1000 of their apparently competition loads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will admit to now carrying some 9s in the bag when shooting registered competitions, they come in handy for close targets or anything showing the underside of the clay. When buying up loads of unwanted shells a while ago, a lot of Express 9s were in the mix, so I tried them and they do work through the 3/4 and full Beretta that I use, but I would not use them on rabbit or battue clays. I always use either the Proper Cartridges 7.5s or 6.5s for the distant stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
