Cartridges

If you haven't loaded your own cartridges, whats the choices in factory loaded (2, 2.5 and 3 inch) fodder? The main problems ( in my opinion) with factory loaded cartridges are : * They are expensive. * Most have plastic wads (Eley have fibre wads). * Most don't have the smaller shot sizes for close range clays (8s or 9s).
