I have a Dye Ultralite with three different size backs.

Which one do I use?

The one where the ball rolls straight through, the one that the ball can be blown through with a good puff or the one that is tight and you can not blow it through?

the perfect fit is three points of contact from ball to barrel.. but over boring is most peoples preferred choice (ball rolls through). Its all about personal choice and the paint you shoot at the end of the day. If you can trust the paint you have, use the three points of contact, if you don't.. then overbore.

As has been said, if your paint is really consistent (inspect it and see if there are any warped, dimpled, or irregular balls) then you can go with the closer fit, but you're probably best off going big to avoid any barrel breaks (which will destroy your accuracy anyway).

the perfect fit is when the ball fits snug wth 3 points of contact like J@mes has said :) and can be blown out with a small puff.

But as has already been said most people use a bigger bore size to prevent any chops from the odd dimpled or bigger ball etc ;)
