Anyone use or have an opinion on the above? Just picked up a 1000 12g 28gr 7.5's for what I thought was a good price for fibre wads. Not had any experience of them before so a heads up would be appreciated.. :grin: :thup: :grin:

My advise Tommo is to pattern test them on paper at different distances and with different chokes to see what works and what suits. ;)

Oh yes, I intend trying them on paper before anything else. And it will be interesting to see how they perform through my two O/U's, the side-by-side, the semi-auto and the pump...!!! :grin: ;) Enough choice there I think. :thup:

Maybe, maybe not, but Tommo will need a decent gun to put them through.

I am guessing it need the Rev Mrs Tommo to really check if they are any good, after all Mr T might just hit a few lucky ones.

I used Gamebore White gold last week on clays and my score went up by 20% so I guess they are good.

a lot of the top shots seem to go for gamebore so that must say something about their products.

I also noticed the gun was not as dirty after too.

I used them when I was on the clays every weekend a few years ago. They were £114.00 a thousand. If they go bang at that price they are the best cartridge in the world :)
