Blue ones.....
Actually it would be blue one I would buy. Eley olympics in 28gm
7 1/2. Cheap as chips, great for decoying pigeons and woodcock
or snipe too. Shot plenty of pheasants with them over the years
also. Shouldnt be any more than £4 a box

I love Eley olympics in plastic wad but found their fibre wad to
be extremely dirty, so now i use GB fibre wad when i need to use
fibre and eley if i am shooting at a place that allows plastic.
Hollow farm were charging £43 for 250 GB fibre a month ago, not
sure Eley price though it was £40, as had bought a load back in
August and hadnt shot much over winter.
Didnt like the express much tbh or danarms, a mate gave me some
27g hulls which seemed to be pretty good, but he was buying them
in bulk 6,000 at a time from someone down the M1 west direction

wc Eley Olympics are not as cheap as they used to be, a lot of
clay shooters started shootin them 2-3 years ago when lead
prices went through the roof and they realized just how good
they were and now they can be difficult to get and they are no
longer they cheapest clay shell around, we've been shootin a lot
of Viper by Noble Sport and they are very good and cheaper than
blues, as I've 2 to pay for I need to find the cheapest shells
around. Leslie Willis from Orchard Guns in Loughgall is the man
for the Vipers
