I have had some Lumpy f-blacks as well....some time ago but to be fair I am happy with them as a shell now. Hamster doesn't like f-blacks and that is fine, but I find them okay to shoot and you will find it hard to get another shell that patterns as tight.
F3 blues like I say are great. I was really hammering stuff with my 3/4 chokes yesterday with them. Nice even patterns and more open than F-blacks....but they are more punchy in my opinion.

I love FBlacks in almost every respect except recoil, I think the company would do well to revise its recipe and tangibly reduce recoil which would make it a world beater.

Just for comparison on all the clever shells. Bare in mind steel shots all of them. This is the prices when I buy at my local shop, the prices are equivalent if you buy a 1000 or 250. You need to buy bulk in order to get a discount (10.000 or more)
T1 (24gr size 7) 1260DKK 150£/170€
T2 (28gr size 7) 1400DKK 166£/188€
T4 (28gr size 7) 1700DKK 201£/228€
Cheapest we have is a SAGA Eurotrap cost 1160DKK 137£/155€. But it's not a pleasant cartridge to shoot. Punch a lot harder than any other 24 gr.

44/1000th of a gram!!I weighed an FBlack a while back...it seems I was cheating
Imediately hand back any prise money or trophys,that extra 10th of a pellet could be making all the difference!
I was on a charity day once with Peter Wilson he explained to us that he had to weigh every shell practice and comp to ensure consistency!
A few thousand at a time said he hated doing it and it took a few hours each week.
Red,Blue or Green and did you weigh at least a hundred to ensure consistency

I am sure Fitasc and ISSF allow + 0.5g on 28g and 24g loads so you are OKI weighed an FBlack a while back...it seems I was cheating

Sorry i didn't make myself clear...was not for the rule book but for ballistic consistency?I am sure Fitasc and ISSF allow + 0.5g on 28g and 24g loads so you are OK
Who am i to question an Olympic gold medal winner.
A great shooter and it would seem even more than dedicated
I shot with him at Lonato absolute gent his father too.I weighed one as I’m tight and lazy, the consistency of my tightness and laziness is beyond reproach ?.
I even measured 1 actual shot for diameter under under the microscope with a stage micrometer.
Again 1 was as far as I got before boredom set in...

First day out using only Official Sporting, didnt feel, in handling terms feel any different to the F3's ive been using, breaks on all bar the edge on clays do look rather pleasing, so Ive tried them, I like them, and yes will keep using them,
