I am new to the sport (just over two weeks). I got a 1000 hull comp x with my gun. Is this a good cartridge? I understand it's their entry level product but at this stage will I benefit from a better product? The guy in the shop said the lyvale power blue (that my friend shoots). Is £30 more a thousand. I know that's not much diluted over a 1000 but he said you'd be better spending that £30 on a 100 extra clays at the moment. Thoughts please

Pick a pretty colour. At this stage that will be just about as relevant as their alleged velocity and consistency. Take lessons to develop a proper stance, mount and have someone look at your gunfit and technique. Then shoot as much you can to instill those habits - all better things to worry about (and spend your money on) than on the extremely low percentage of "clays that got away because of the cartridge".

I like TT1s - I have hit some surprising stuff with them.

The short ferrule (brass) has causes problems with some ejectors - my daughter's (bought new) 525 will not eject them about 1 in 30.

No problem with my F3 however a 682 Gold I have hates them.

I prefer to pay the extra for the Fblu.

I use the Superfast's in plastic and fibre and never have any issues with punchiness.
F-Blu's are nice, as are the Gamebore Evo's.
Yes plastic can take a little more cleaning of the barrels but it's not so hard or long to get them back to standard.
I often wonder about the expensive cartridges but I've never felt like I missed a clay due to the cartridge.
Find something that suits your shoulder and wallet and go with it.

I have homed in on White Gold, but next slab I buy will be DTL Golds. They are

I am working my way through 1000 Gamebore White Gold right now (a great Cartridge, fast), but the next slab I buy will be Eley DTL Gold. They are a lovely soft shooting Cartridge and, as the name implies, very good on the longer birds as well as close clays.
