you know there's a hole i've noticed in the paint match debate, don't get me wrong i love my freak on my cocker, if only so i don't lose my first ball, but there is a problem
when you got naff paint
if the paint is inconsistant, and i often buy cheap stuff at big games, so mine often is, then the barrel to ball match is all over the place for every shot, and in that case (and this is why, i think, it was all big bore barrels in the 90's) you actually end up a little better off with not such a good fit
