Beardo Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 i shoot both Eley HB Pigeon (32gm 6.5 fibre) and Eley First (28gm 7.5 plastic) in my Teknys - great carts, never had any problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy W Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 Eley firsts are great for the money, I think they are hard hitting and perhaps a bit crude but do the job well, not as refined as say Victory 480's but my last batch of 480's were awful, I am also impressed with some Rio trap carts I purchased recently.

Bagsy Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 Eley Firsts are fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter De La Mare Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 I can vouch that Eley First is good for 80 yard edge on crossers at Southdown, anything that Fennes can throw at me and all the trap disciplines as discovered today. Nobody needs anything better/more expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 Great cartridges, I used to use them until I found that Hulls were cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magman Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 Eley do the job but i find Rio trap better for less money in both 12g and 20g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter De La Mare Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 I thought Eley First were the cheapest? I only get the 28s, so the Hull 21s might be cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pair away Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 ive used eley firsts in 28g and 24g on and off for about 4 years and never had any reel problems with them , other than the price has gone up but thats the same with all !!!!!!.

BlaserF3 Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 I use Olympic Trap and pay £126 a thousand for them. I find them a very satisfactory cartridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea about any other central London stockist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy W Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 andy crude in what way ? kick ? or mess in the barrels etc ? I find they have more of a kick when compared to Victory 480's, shoot 480's or Rios then firsts and firsts seem a little aggressive with the kick, doesnt bother me just something I noticed.

Greenhunter Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Eley Firsts and Blues, 28g 71/2 fiber for clays go through my 391 faultlessly. Have never had a bad experience with any of the Eley range. (wonder if I'll get a free slab if anybody from Eley's reads this) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon2008 Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 I bought a few boxes of 32g No6 Eley High Flyer; got the **** ripped out of me because the carts are a lovely pink/purple colour!
