Hi I'm new to the forum and I have a basic question for mag owners with non-E-mag guns and 68/3000 nitro tanks. How many shot are you getting per fill? I have a minimag and I think I am getting only 600.

I get 700 or so out of my 68/3k. It depends on several factors, but mostly for me seems to hinge on topping off a cool tank.

for 3000 psi tanks you should get aprox ten shots per ci.
68/3000 68x10=680 shots out of a 68/3000
for 4500 psi tanks you should get aprox 15 shots per ci.
68/4500 68x15=1020 shots out of a 68/4500

yes i already know the formula but a formula like that does not tell you what other people are getting. I also hav very small but constant leak out of my QD so i need a new O-ring but taking that into cosideration 600(current shots) + leak = should equal about 680 shts afer i fix my QD. I was just wondering what other mag useres got

I get between 700-800 shots off of a 68ci 3000psi crossfire stub tank. That's with a Retro valve.

well my Rickochet ball counter said I shot 647 balls, but I think its a little off. Oh.. I was using a Crossfire 68/3000 stubby.

Which o-ring's leaking? The little black one in the disconnect fitting or is it one of the white ones in the slide check part? If its a white one...a urethane bottle o-ring will work fine. I picked up a chrome degas/qd for 5 dollars from a guy at my local field. He said it leaked and he could get it fixed.. I spent 3$ at walmart on some bottle o-rings and got it fixed within five minutes. He was pretty upset since it was 25$ part that was two months old lol.

I am getting about 650 shots out of my 68/3000 tank on my mag.

"He was pretty upset since it was 25$ part that was two months old lol."

that's pretty funny,my o-ring is the little black one inside the QD (female part)
