    What Size Inserts/Backs Do You Actually Use?

    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?

    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.

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

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

                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.

                  .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 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

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