24gr for OT

[newbie]

Can anyone recommend a good 24gr for OT please?

I'm looking for a round that has a good long term supply, hits hard, is fast and cheap (C£140-170/1000).

So far i've heard of Fiocchi top ones, fiocchi f-blu (?) and express comps.

Does anyone who shoots OT regularly have any recommendations?

Don't think you can go much wrong with Fiocchi TBH

anyone know any good sources in/near gloucestershire. justcartridges seem to have them for £155/1000. I cant see any on Coley's website. Not sure who else does them locally...?

 

[TobyM]

Could be worth giving Coley's a ring in the morning and see what they have

There's a long thread on Fiocchi for OT [F-blu] that Matt can guide you to on here. Some misfires have been reported which is a firing pin fix other than that they're cracking.

Tried some different Fiocchis courtesy of Don Brunt when I was at owls lodge. TBH I found the Fblue very underwhelming, Punchy and filthy with unburnt propellant in the barrels and 2 misfires out of 1 box. Before anyone jumps on the "you shoot a mk38 so its a pin problem" I have shot 4000 Olympics in just over 3 months with only 1 (top barrel I may add) mis-fire.

Fuz,that's completely at odds with the Top One which I have happily settled on as my shell of choice. Clean, not too punchy and maybe only 2 misfires but they only occured in the trap gun in the bottom barrel.

The new top1 (orange case) was my prefered shell out of the selection I tried, for all of the reasons you have stated and as a bonus it was the cheapest

 

[TobyM]

Not seen the orange cased ones - hmm

Be sure that we're talking 24gm here not 28.
