yes we all know paintballs are around .68 but from your previous post you made it seem like the box would say .687 , ive never heard of that your always gonna have to check your paint to barrel,(true story at a tourney/) but when your team captain is using .692 and they ask what you went with (with freaks you say the color) so id say green, then they would actually be using all the differnt colors(red,blue ect) but comparing them all with the micrometer(is that the right tool?) at the proshop it was that they were all .688(no quality control issues there lol)(/end true story)....im sorry i forgot where i was going with this

yea. As an idividual user it realy matters not as long as you don't end up with two the same size leaving yourself a gap in covereage and not allowing you to fit a particular odd paint some day.

But for most individuals we all do it by feel. But for relating to others it might be good to note that they SHOULD not rely on anothers reference point and not be lazy. They should fit test their own. And I would say this is the safest thing to do with ALL barrels system.

One recent train of thought that most people are now adopting with these is the chosing of a larger than optimal size. Seems to eliminate a good deal of down the barrel breaks. What I and some others are doing is chosing the insert that is the best fit and using that reference point to go up one size from that. You sacrifice a tiny bit off efficency but you hardly ever get those down the barrel breaks. So IF you do that and it just happens to be that your choice of the next bigger than optimal was one size off you could end up with not realy going up a size. And maybe not even realize it. Then it might affect you as an idividual a bit more.

well its nice when I show to a feild and ask someone I know that is playing what bore the feild paint is today they can give me a fair estimate... definatly helps me get on the feild faster.
