20g/bore Clay cartridge recomendations please ?

I have a 20bore/guage (depending on what you like)and use it occasional on clays and game. I am quite happy with my game cartrigdes (eley hi flyer) but I am about to run out of clay cartridges so thought I would ask for recommendations. Am happy to use shot sizes: 7,7.5 and 8`s. 28gram is what I normally use but would consider others. Plastic and fibre recomendations also.

Can recomendations be given where possible as:

Brand

Model / product range

Gram

Shot size

wad

cost per 250

cost per 1000

Try 'Just Cartridges' mate. Save you and everyone else a lot of time.

Hi Matt, I can recommend, Gamebore Super Steel 7's, plastic wad, 24g and they were £160 / 1000 a couple of months back.

Thanks Wylye, I have allready looked at the ranges listed buy just cartridges but it doesnt list customer / user feed back on the products which is what am after (product recomendation followed what they cost they were purchased at)!

Thanks for that Kentskeet, I will have a look into these but must check to see if steel shot will be okay through my barrel !

Regards

Matt

I rarely use mine, but when I did, the cheapest I could find were EJ Churchills own brand, made by Eley. Breaks are good on clays. Fibre wad 24g 8 i think. Might be worth calling them 01494 883227

Not so good if you are miles from them of course..

A friend of mine shoots a 20g gameclays, he recons 28g Clever Mirage in 7 1/2 (English 7) are the best he's shot, shoots almost everything with them now, 5's for ducks, and Mirage 36g 4's for high ducks and decoying geese.

Gaz says the Fiocchi's are ok, "cheap and chearfull" for clays, but he was unimpressed with them on pigeons...

Hey Darky tell Gaz that the pigeons do not like 36grm Fiocchi.......I can promise him........and I should know..... L. O. L.

Coooo coooo

I didn't know Fiocchi make a 36g 20b cartridge...

36g in a twenty bore ??!! Blimey I bet they kick a bit !

I use Cheddite Trap 20's in mine and can't fault them at all Contact www.malmoguns.com for more info

Nicky T how much are they and what wad, shot size and load are they ?

Hi Salop

I use gamebore competition in 24g P7.5's.  I keep 1/4 & 1/2 chokes in my Caesar Guerini and they break everything out there.  Remember, a 20bore patterns quite a bit tighter than a 12, and so IMO, you don't need all that extra shot when shooting clays.  They are easy on the shoulder and pattern well.  With a 20bore, lightness was key and upsetting the gun with lots of shot in it was counterproductive. 

Hope that helps!

Eley VIP 28 g 7/12 in fibre or plastic will kill anything on a clay shoot.

My girl friends uncle swears by Express 24 gram, he uses 5's for game, but not sure what for clays. They'll be fibre wad though.

I use the Gamebore 24 gram size 9's for my NSSA skeet shooting, good shell and hit hard.
