Nicola,
I'm disappointed in you!
You should always buy British whenever possible, after all your posts about supporting shooting in this country and you don't even buy British shells -- Shame on you
Yeap......I do that by shooting shells that work enabling me to bring home medals to GB when I shoot well and when i am lucky.
It is amazing how a 'great' shell helps. Try it......it works!!

. Hi Nicola, I tried Vinci shells for the first time through my K80 on Sunday and had big problems breaking the barrels although they ejected ok. I had to go and buy some more Eley Trap to carry on. Has anybody else had this problem with K80/vinci combo ?Don't shoot English shells. However Eley owners Maxam have a great cartridge called Vinci. They are quite special.

One doesnt buy shells when one is podiuming at international events, one gets ones sponsor to hand deliver them 
Any hoo its far sweeter to bring home a medal after using johnny foreigners free shells and beating their country persons in their own back yard

British shells are just as good if not better than anything made oversea's.
All you need to do is put the lead in the right place - Bring home the medals but buying BRITISH will make it a real home win !!
They only 'load' over here ...oh passionate one'.......
You are welcome to your opinion and so am i
My opinion is that I would never touch a UK manufacturer if there was an Italian one available. I prefer a manufacturer with consistency when i am spending my hard earned cash competing against well tooled up competition.
And you know what jonz.............i do not lose a winks sleep over it.......or your disappointment.....

Dont worry Tonks, Just a bit of jocularity 
For what its worth I used to shoot olympics and found they were a great shell, just got a bit rich for me the amount I go through hence my switch to Kent Velocity. Quite honestly any cartridge out there is better than me anyway

Aren't a lot the so called british shells now made in spain,or somewhere in europe.
Thats why they use the excuse of the £/euro exchange rate as one of their reasons for price hikes.
