Maybe I'm a moron here but I always thought that Diablo Blaze is medium bore paint. I went out to shoot some paint through my Emag today and I was getting velocities ranging from 270 to 320. It was all over the place so I came inside and decided to check my paint to barrel match since I figured that had to be the problem. I'm using a DYE Boomstick and I assumed it was a small bore since I didn't specify any certain size when I ordered it. What I found is that the Blaze just rolled right through the Boomy, other than where it catches on the plastic nubbin. THen I tried the paint in the stock Emag barrel and a medium bore DYE Stainless barrel. The paint rolled right through all of them. Is Blaze small bore paint ?
Also why would my velocity be so high if the paint was actually smaller than the bore of the barrel ? Wouldn't my velocity be lower if the ball were too small ?

Yes, Blaze is ussually medium to small bore. Since the batches vary in size some, you might have gotten a small batch.

i think diablo id mostly medium bore, but it varies, and you will get a small bore batch sometimes

I have found that the high quality Diablo paint is usually a .687 or a .688 bore size. I hope this helps you out.
