Shot about 5000 too (in fibre). Personally never had a problem with them, although a mate had a misfire resulting in a stuck wad in the barrel. It was cold and hammering down with rain at the time, so the cartridge may had got damp/wet/cold. For a practice cartridge I don't think you can beat...

Yesterday I was told by 2 different RFDs that Gamebore are about to go up by another 13%.

It's in a fenced off by the air rifle range area, almost behind the clubhouse. Walk as if your going to Clubhouse Sportrap, and there's a panelled gate in the fence. Ask for the keys behind reception. Pic below is from just above the grouse butt 

If you do want to get on a pattern plate, Sporting Targets don't charge to use theirs. IIRC it's £2.50 for a "proper" pattern card, or just put up something of your own

Edited my previous message to correct for my questionable eyesight. Hope that suits you

No reason it shouldn't. Lots of smaller pellets impacting a clay should hit with the same energy as a few larger ones, up to a point. Never shot 9s as I'm  happy with 8s up to about 35 to 40 yards for most birds. Anything edge on at that range might get something bigger thrown at it. Have seen...

Loads of factors in play that will affect pattern. Choke is just one of them. Cartridge choice is another. Shot "should" be spherical, and fly in a fairly straight direction. Damage to the shot cause it to fly in different directions. More damage to the shot equals bigger pattern. Just some of...

Only started using Fblu a little while ago, and what a fantastic cartridge for the price. I even prefer them to F3 reds. Would be nice if they did them in an size 8 as well though. The only carts I can find sub £240 are Fiocchi Litespeed, Hull Superfast and Hull Comp X. I'll shoot Superfast ...

What makes one choke "better" than another? Doesn't the pattern density depend more on the cartridge?  Harder lead generally giving a more centre dense pattern than softer lead. The choke can really only affect the size of the pattern for a certain cartridge. A 1/4 choke with one cartridge may...

I'm seriously hoping that they've made a typo on their system. £335/thousand is nuts. Just Cartridges new price for FBlu's is £254, Sporting Targets is £244.  Sporting Targets have been about tenner cheaper per thousand than Just Cartridges on most cartridges for a while.  Super Blacks at JC ...

I've got 2 Light Mod chokes in front of me now. Different manufacturers, both extended, although there is a 0.080" (approx 2 mm for the young 'uns) difference in length. They are manufactured for a Invector Plus, nominally bored to 0.740", and should taper to 0.725" (0.015" for LM) .  One tapers...

Chokes from different manufacturers in an ideal world shouldn't be any different. However everything is always made to a tolerance. A 1/4 choke should be a 10 thou restriction from the bore diameter. A Browning 12Ga with Invector Plus chokes should be have a bore diameter of 0.740", so a 1/4...

Glad to meet you today, always nice to put faces to names. Couple of really tricky stands and no real card fillers. The bird off of the tele handler on stand 7 foxed most people. I couldn't find it at all, might go back for a practice if it's still there. I did the same last month with the small...

And with the new energy prices the cost of manufacturing clays is going to go up as well

One of the grounds I shoot at is fibre only and these used to be the standard cartridge available there. Never tried the plastic wad Litespeeds though.  As they are UK 8's I find them pretty good up to approx 40 yards, then they drop off real quick. Seen a few 40+ yard birds get hit, change...

Same date I've heard for the next Fiocchi UK delivery. 

Check their prices now, 2000 FBlus incl delivery will cost you £538. I can pick up 2000 FBlus from Sporting Targets for £452, probably £20 cheaper than that at Eastern Sporting. I'll admit that I've been told the ST prices are due to go up on the next delivery (probably ES too).  I reckon by...

I've stopped using them, as I've found the same cartridges cheaper. Bought 3000 Fiocchi Litespeeds from Eastern Sporting for £196/thousand a couple of weeks ago. JC want £234 + £15 delivery per thousand. Even if you account for 20 quids worth of fuel, I'm still £139 better off. OK, there and...

Eley Olympic Blues and Lyalvale Express Super Light are available in 24g Fibre 9's. Never used either of them, so can't comment on what they're like though

Looks like Gamebore aren't pulling the pants down on our neighbours, 249 Euros for 1000 White Gold 8's at Terre & Eaux. That's about £215. JC has them for £290.
