Velocity v Superfast

[Will Hewland]

Ah, missed that! yeah, they surprised me a bit, thought they'd be lighter on the shoulder. Could tell the difference from just a few. 

Rhetorically, i Wonder why.

It’s weird, I agree. Smaller load almost never thumpier. Somebody must have thought speed was needed. I need some more fibre soon and will be getting the V 28g.

Yup, looked into it (of course I did!) and the 28g are Velocity+, the 26g are Hyper Velocity... reason being it has more charge inside to increase the speed, hence the punchier feel: action & reaction. I'll try out some 28s next time I come across them or buy a slab possibly, but such as the above, I'm sceptical I'll notice much difference from the Superfast.

Having used (no longer do mind) 1000's of Superfasts they felt a lot easier on the bod than the Velocity I once tried, these I did feel were thump as er White Golds (I know from same stable so to speak) , however each of us feels things differently.

As for speed, would a mere mortal really tell the difference on the bulk of sporting targets thrown these days? Only takes a few pellets to take a clay.

Was it the 26 or 28g you were using fella? Curious if that was why they felt easier...

The only Superfasts Ive ever used were 27g, the Velocity & White Golds 28g for me they were a bit thumpy, it is though subjective and I know of some that say the complete opposite, only solution is to try them.

Oh Im shooting a 8lb8oz gun, am 6ft+ and 13st dripping wet so not exactly big,

Really interesting for me reading through this post and seeing so many comments around varying recoil perception across cartridges. 

Ever since I got my MK38 properly fitted to me I've not actually been able to notice any difference at all - and I've probably put 15 types of 28g through it since then. I barely perceive any recoil whatsoever, probably likened to somebody flicking me in the shoulder.

Weird. I stand behind others in the stand and they look like they're taking a real beating shot to shot.

Antse7en, I have noticed the same thing,watching others take their turn, gun flying up on recoil ,seems some people dont like to cut there stocks to fit ? interestingly I rarely notice kick ,but did when a buddy slipped me some 28 g velocity, yet used them before and wasnt bad....how ever I got a box of the 26g velocity passed to me, no kick what so ever in the miroku,percieved by me I should add, but at that price and with the breaks I was getting certainly will be buying some.,felt wad bargain!!

I may have to give the velocity a try, I'm on my second 1000 of the superfasts, cant say I have anything bad to say about them, they make a bang and most of the time break the clay - should I point the gun in the right place...

Im not into comps, so probably wouldn't even notice any difference between them, but it wouldn't hurt to try I guess...

Funny, as I felt the 26g Velocity noticeably kick like a mule compared to the TT1 & Superfast 28g (although I logically understand why it would).

Yup, gonna stick with Superfast as they're the cheapest I can reasonably get my hands on, and there's been no difference in the result between whatever I've tried so I'm 100% sold that apart from recoil, and once you've simply got one that's comfortable, cartridge choice is completely and utterly all headgames!  Velocity are slightly more expensive, but unless I get some the same price, I'm not prepared to waste my money when what I have already works.
