If a set of Ultralights isn't doing it for you, I'm not sure anything will, they're a great barrel. I use an Evil Pipe kit, and it's been good to me for the past couple years. Empire and CP barrel kits were the thing to have a couple seasons ago. I don't think you could go wrong with any of those.
Any particular reason? or is it beacause the pressure behind the ball decreases constantly rather than hitting a step and dropping?John C said:
I am of the school of thought that says a paintball gets up to 300fps in the first inch or two of the barrel.
So the pressure the ball sees during acceleration should be the same in both barrels.
I havent noticed much difference in concistency but a straight bore barrel will allow you to shoot more brittle paint without breaking it.
I guess if the paintball is not perfectly round it can become unstable in the loose bore section of the barrel.
If anyone wants to buy me a high speed camera, a beowulf cluster and a load of pressure sensors I promise to try and find out.

I sold my pipe kit the other week because I was looking to change to use Ultralites instead. The evil pipe kit is blooming great tho in my experience, been really consistently accurate and has a great selection of backs for every ball 
I'd thoroughly recommend it.
Also if you're gonna sell your ultralites, could I buy them? lol *threadjack over*

Wasn't all of this tested to some extent during Tom Kaye's barrel tests four score and seven years ago? Or do I just need to talk to my doc about upping that prescription?John C said:
i personally like freak kits for their advantage of being able to change over to a different marker without having to buy a whole new kit again, then again i know you will be looking for accuracy mainly in a barrel but are you also loooking at weight, cost, or asthetics? since these will also influence peoples opinions,
