Bustin' my balls !!!

[arg1271]

After a bit of help / advice on what might be wrong, was playing down at Wycombe yesterday and was having a hell of a time with balls breaking in the barrel and breech of both my markers, I was using recsport (yellow) and also tried some blaze but just got the same issues, other guys on paint from the same batch were OK.

Markers and settings are as follows:

Matrix DM3 - gold evolve bolt and tadao board, chrono'd fine around 290, using a freak barrel with a .693 insert - good ball to bore match. set in semi mode only 15 bps cap, dwell was originally 14, upped to 18 didn't make much difference. eyes and detents were fine until I started getting breaks after which I got a fair bit of double balling (probably because the detents were covered in gunk.

DM4 - also got the evolve bolt, std board with lukcy ACE chip, set to quickstart mode 2 i think (semi only with 15bps cap - the CFOA one), chrono'd at 290 +/- 5 eyes and detents fine until gunked up, not double balling though. Using std dye ultralight barrel, dwell set at 16.

Both had few batteries fitted a couple of days before the game

I'm using a std reloader b and I had the boards set on loader delay 2 (manuals state use 1 to 4 for a halo)

Any ideas ?

Up the loader delay to four.

I would have been happy to have a look for you if you mentioned the issue.

thanks for the offer mate but I was trying to keep playing as much as possible and I don't like to eat into other peoples playing time so they can fix my marker(s), you looked like you were being gun-tech quite a bit yesterday.

I'll certainly give the loader delay a tweak and see if if that improves the situation, got to clean all the muck out of the markers first.

Yup, many markers fixed yesterday. To be honest I am happy to do it even if it was at the expense of game time on a couple of occasions.

If you are there next month then give me a shout.
