Ok, I have been in a league speedball tourney which meets on the last friday of each month. This is the first night I will play with my micromag. I have a stock barrel and a 10 inch dye barrel. So my question is, what is a good paint, in general for this gun. The field offers just about every paint available on the high end. I was shooting big ball out of my old gun and it worked great, but when i shot it out of my mag it broke like crazy.. any suggestions would be appreciated.

PMI seemed to work well in my 'Mag. What kind of Dye barrel?

I shoot a Dye 12" Stainless on my Rt Pro. My understanding is that DYE barrels are considered to have a medium bore size so any medium size paint should work well. Here's a URL which list several brands of paintballs and there bore sizes. Find anything that's a medium bore and you should be all set.

I have a 12" Dye. Marbs or believe it or not..Bigball. It's cheap and it shoots quite well out of my mag, better than some of the expensive garbage out there.

Marbalizer, all star, blaze, bigball( but not really for tournaments), and team colors.

Same here. I shoot a micro w/ my stock and a smart parts AA stainless splash and i use big ball or 32* team colors. Those 2 types work better than most others for me.

marbalizers shoot great through my dye barrel.

Well, I shoot a mini with a custom barrel. I like Pro-ball Platinum (?pearl?) the most. I like to use thick fill paint, cuz it is harder for the other team to wipe them if they try. http://www.automags.org/ubb/smile.gif
