Does anyone use inserts larger than .687

[keiko_819]

So I'm going back and forth about buying a few stainless inserts or getting a whole kit. Does anyone use inserts larger then .687? Here in California I've never needed to use anything larger so I'm just checking if there would be a market for the larger sizes.

if i want to overbore, then yes.

LL5...If I didn't have a .694 insert, my day would have been ruined. The paint was so terrible and broke if you looked at it wrong.

This is the Only reason I have a full kit of stainless. For cold weather and junk paint

I needed a .688 at Decay of Nations, but the .687 would have sufficed.

nope.

i have not used over .685 in at least 5 years.

I typically use a 0.693" or 0.696" for all of my guns except the pumps. With a pump I need the perfect fit for the paint to keep it from rolling out the barrel.

You'll almost end up spending the price of a full kit if you buy specific inserts piece meal from retailers. Plus it is just nice to have a few bigger inserts for when you get wonky paint or if it gets super humid. At the end of a season our team loads up all the old paint left over from events and go to a BYOP field and just dump it. No point in trying to bore match paint from 4-5 different events from the last 6 months so I just slap the biggest insert I have.

buddy of mine used a .691 2 weekends ago in his pump and only had a few roll outs, shooting premium. i always have .679-.693 id rather have it and not use it than not have it at all.

I have seen people desperate for something small for paint. I do not believe in underboring paint. I prefer a good fit, slight over bore. With winter paints, i have been using more .688 than anything else.

Why bother selling the "extra" inserts, you wont even get enough to make it worth driving to the Post Office ?

I remember when the norm was .689.

In this crappy winter cold and damp I find that trying to bore match is a useless futile gesture... All of my markers shoot much better over boring in these conditions. I have been using a .688 or .689 where I would normally use a .681 or 684.

I have also been to that occasional event where paint was ridiculously large and needed my +.689 range of inserts. You never know.
