samboy Posted July 17, 2022 Report Share Posted July 17, 2022 Hi gang. Just getting to the end of 2000 fibre 8s which i use for sporting clays and i will be glad to see the back of them. In my 42 years of clay shooting i have never known a dirtier cartridge. Also i struggle to get the barrels of my Beretta clean. Anyone else find this with them ?. Thanks all.

Stonepark Posted July 17, 2022 Report Share Posted July 17, 2022 No, but it appears Gamebore is discontinuing them, so we won't have to worry about it 😜 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted July 17, 2022 Report Share Posted July 17, 2022 I shot a lot of Blue Diamond when I shot clays and not much else. I really liked them. The only cartridge of theirs I found to be dirty was White Gold. Awful things! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve1066 Posted July 17, 2022 Report Share Posted July 17, 2022 I shoot blue diamonds with a felt wad and I don’t find them dirty either, really good cartridge for the price and not punchy, will miss them now I have found out they are to be discontinued!

8 shot Posted July 17, 2022 Report Share Posted July 17, 2022 If your a Gamebore fan, for a good club cartridge try the EVO's used 250+ on a Sim Day, really good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They must have found out that folk were using the English 7s for real pigeon. Edited July 18, 2022 by wymberley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matone Posted July 18, 2022 Report Share Posted July 18, 2022 ....probably more to do with Fiocchi buying Bascheri & Pellagri who at least made the Gordon cases and probably loaded them for Gamebore given the Italian shot and different crimp formation on Blue Diamond compared to the rest of their range. Great pigeon and clay cartridge !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great pigeon and clay cartridge !!! Would make perfect sense. I've been forced into a change around and (un)fortunately no longer use them. 6.5s now in the 12 bore.
