What Size Inserts/Backs Do You Actually Use?

[Resurection]

So I have been shopping for a new kit to replace my freak kit that I really didn't like all that much. The biggest problem I am running into is that certain kits I like have very different sets of back/insert sizes.

So I am coming to the masses to ask for a consensus - What sizes do you guys actually tend to use most?

[punkncat]

I generally use between .689-.693 99.9% of the time. Most of that being .691

In my area most of the paintballs have been matching up with .682, to .687. So I generally stay with the the smaller side of the barrel backs/inserts in my barrel kits.

This year it's been the same here. Last year paint seemed to be a bit larger, .689-.691.

[B-Pow]

the .685 on my matchstix kit gets the most use by a large margin.

[Ruler_Mark]

depeneding on the paint or field i have used all of my freak inserts over time. mostly i use the .689 one. think bell curve

[DBC]

I would say I use .689 & .691 ninety percent of the time.

[kevdupuis]

If I use my cocker or sniper I'll size to the paint, for the mags I throw on the largest back I have (.691) and be done with it.

[Mechanic79]

.682~.689" I try to stay far away from large bore paint. I've had nothing but trouble with it in the past.

I've used Draxxus line of paint mainly midnight.

To all of the responders: what paint are you using?

Last outing I shot RP Premium out of a .689 and wish I had remembered I had a .691.

Also shot Chronic out of a .688 and again wish I had a larger back.

I'm with this guy.

[cerrik]

I typically use my .684 on my Freak. Try to shoot marbs 90% of the time but occassionally get something else (AKA FPO) and have to swap up to .687

[TnDeathInc]

.689, .691

[Foxworthy]

.685 usually

I have been suprised that the responses are floating on the upper ranges more than I expected... more people throw in please.

In response to the person who wanted to know what we brand/type of paint usually used. I tend to use DXS paint, X-ball bronze, blaze, X-ball silver, X-ball gold (if I'm feeling..."spendy"), rec sport...I like DXS never had a bad day with the stuff. That and the field I tend to play at (Fox in Millington IL) has DXS as field paint (but they are BYOP, every day).

Two years ago .689-.695. Now .684-.687. Does that tell you something?

Yeah, whats up with all this small paint? I recently bought some paint at Wal Mart for a woods game and it was sooooo small it rolled out of a 679 insert!

[Chrishew09]

.689

[Sumthinwicked]

I recently bought some paint at Wal Mart explains it all :)

[MANN]

Just remember

barrel A .689 does NOT = barrel B .689

that being said I usually use .687

I concur :)

[Bolter]

I never use anything below a 691. I do not want to risk barrel breaks, and I care not for the small amount of difference in accuracy/efficiency.

[Steelrat]

I have to match to the paint, as I use a closed bolt marker (excal). So it varies from day to day.

[MeÐiCX]

Of course they are I'm getting old!

[Resurection]

I said 'shrinking' not 'sinking' !!!!

[drg]

I match paint, so .682-.687 most of the time, and occasionally .689. Never larger.

[Bolter]

I have never even seen an insert smaller than 689! Been playing since the woodland days aswell! A 682?? Crikey!

[going_home]

I use .687 or .686 only .
No roll outs on the pump, and they seem to be the best with the paint around here.

;)

[AGDlover]

.681 has been the common size lately with RPS Premium god i hate that paint
