YesCan anyone honestly tell the difference between a fast or slow cartridge apart from the recoil? I certainly cannot.

Where was that dude?I was standing behind a shooter today, and was amazed how the clay seemed to break instantly, compared to previous shooters using different ammo. He was using Fiocchi Black Sporting, it was the instant the report the clay broke! Has anyone else noticed this, or was I just imagine it!
Genuine question how do you tell? time to break the clay or by the amount of lead.

Some very average shells can have a thumpy/dirty recoil.So its mostly down to recoil feel.
And some very expensive ones can have a very crisp/clean recoil.So its mostly down to recoil feel.
You would have to go from 21 gram comp x to Hull sovereign 28 gram and shoot 250 every week of the year to cost £1000To use the "best" cartridges on the market would cost me another £1000 per year. I'm just very glad I don't feel they will hit me any more clays, otherwise my shooting would cost another £1000 per year..
Wish I could forget using them!!! 28g fibre at Scone game fair in 2013, didn't have enough T2 Mirage fibre, so I bought couple of boxes to re enter...viciously evil to shoot in comparison and so much soot you'd think you'd been shooting black powder!!!worst cartridge I've used was 'Caledonian', lumpy, dirty............instantly forgettable.
Exactly - people tend to compare near like with like which is why they find it difficult to tell or remember a difference, this is particularly so since nobody is actually going out there looking to see that difference.If you want to try what does feel like a slow cartridge grab a case of Express subsonic fibre wad 28 gram. Got some as the only ones left in the shop and they really do feel slow compared to the HV we normally use. And while my scores go up and down my son is normally consistent and his score dropped noticeably with this cartridge. Also tried some RC4 recently and really noticed the smoke given off...are they black powder?
