Slug Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 Anyone tried the 21g Comp X from the Hull Cartridge Company ?.. http://www.hullcartridge.co.uk/products/co...ition/compx.cfm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungler Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 I tried their comp X range (bought 5,000) when they first came out and had a load of failures - I give them a serve and go with Eley Firsts now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chard Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 I've used Comp X before, but they weren't 21g. They used to sell them at Catton Hall. They're OK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slug Posted August 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 I have gone over to the Eley "Blues" Mungler, would I notice any discernable difference if I went with the "Firsts" ?.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungler Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 I tend to take the point that there is a growing trend towards 24g and 21g loads - I have heard rumours of old shooters ending up with boxer type injuries and it's not hard to work out that loads of recoil to the face and head can't be good for you long term, especially if you do a lot of shooting. I have tried just about every cartridge known to mankind and for clays have settled on Eley Firsts because they represent the best value for money, good results and low recoil. The other cartridges in the Eley range (which are more money and perceived to be a better cartridge by reference to price) are too thumpy for me. It's all a matter of personal choice. If you are new to shooting you will do what everyone else has done - you will try every cartridge, you will treat yourself to expensive pro bitch mother cartridges for "special" occasions and ultimately you will settle on a cartridge that you will use all the time because you get used to what it does and how it works and become consistent with it. Also, the more shooting you do, the more price sensitive shooting 100 carts into the air becomes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slated Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 I have use comp X 28g, should have come with a free chisel to get the mess out the barrels. i wouldn't use them if they were giving them away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slug Posted August 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 I will give those Firsts a go I think Mungler, Essex Gun do them for £120 per /T or £3 a box which is £18 per/T cheaper than the Blues, they don't advertise anything less than 28g in the Eley range, not saying they haven't got them of course.

Zapp Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 I use them quite a bit, not bad cartridges at all. Nice and light on shoulder and pocket ZB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Eley Superb's 28gram 8's The old shooters getting beaten up by cartridges probably started shooting in the high velocity 32gram days, in the wrong gun they really did thump.
