Is there a softer drive cone for the Halos/Reloaders other than the Delron? Something more forgiving like the paddles in an Egg. I am tired of breaking balls in my loader.

There's a specially shaped one coming soon... designed to cup the balls so the force isn't pointloaded, but actually spread over more of the surface.

i've never had that problem, but, i'd buy that new cone kit just for the reinforcing underneath.

I think the orange would look pretty cool inside my black Empire b :ninja:

And as luck will have it, the spring post on one of my drive cones just broke so I really do need a replacement.

Zenitram's delrin drive cone is filleted and uses a stainless steel spring tab.

I've got that one in my RealoaderB and it works well.

The thing I really like about this one is that the spring cup has a ramp which will make putting the pre-wind in the spring much easier.

^^^^^^^^ No its from shooting at a high rate of fire when the loader is almost empty and the drive cone slings and slams the paint all over the place.

So here it is, I think. It sure looks like it, but just a different color and name. http://www.800paintball.com/Shop/Control/Product/fp/vpid/1983455/vpcsid/0/SFV/30363

No, that's not it, I believe nps is releasing it under the empire name, but that one looks just as good.

^^^^^^^^ I believe 800 Paintball is owned by NPS same with 888 Paintball. Maybe they changed the name, cause it sure looks like that S4

Maybe, but I'm pretty sure ans isn't part of nps, I may be wrong. The other difference I see is that that cone uses a metal pin for the spring instead of replacing the drive wheel.

Nope that's not it. The ANS cone is a different product.

Question: Does the drive cone even make much of a difference?
