Bore Sizes

[DieselRaptor24]

Im gettin an Evil Pipe system, and I was wondering if anyone had a list of the exact sizes of the major paintball brands, it would be greatly appreciated.

sizes vary with every batch really, personally i've found diablo to normally be around .689 (thats the freak insert I use anyway...) and zap's a bit bigger (.691+)

 

[Gyroscope]

Tournament paint tends to be small, at least in the USA. Think like .679-.684.

Field "milk dud" paint can be any size, but it's usually big, like .689-.693.

Generally the better, brittler paint is smaller, andthe bouncier, cheaper is bigger. Everything in between is everything in between.

I run Blaze though a .687 freak insert, and use a .689 with zap.

I've heard that some of the Nelson paints are a smaller bore, around .684 but i've never shot it so don't know if its true.

Some brands like RPS Marbelizer and i think RPS El Tigre can be of a smaller bore at times. Not a major difference, just slightly smaller than .689

rps advantage is usually around .689-687 but depends on the weather (have used up to a .693 with it before)

This is a pretty good site it gives a list of some major brands of paint and types of paint and tells the size of the ball (it is more less a range of sized because each batch of paint varies)

Yeah paintball times rocks... like a newspaper on the net.

I have spent many a time reading through the 'times' with my piper packed with rough shag and feet up
