    any first run paint should do fine. Like Diablo blaze, Premium and paints like that. Big ball is a second run paint like midnight. Hence the reason is so cheap. Unless you have a bore size smaller then .689.

        yeah those are good paint. Evil tends to be quite brittle which is good but have to watch what marker you use. First run is the first time the geletin (sp?) is used. Generally the geletin, which is the shell, can be used 2 diferent times. When they mak a paintballs the extra thats cut off is re melted a second time but loses some quality. And since the use the cut off from numerous different colors thats why most 2nd run paint is darker. All the colors mixed together make dark colors. Its still good paint but like anything used twice loses some of its quality and consistancy. also in a 2nd run ball the paint tends to be alot thinner.

              yeah but you will have to contact every paint manufacturer to find out each's 2nd run paint. 1 key is with most if its cheap and dark...its usually 2nd run.ZAP is the only 1 i can think of right now that says their cheap dark is still first run. There may be more though that i cant think of at the moment.

                Blaze and Boomsticks w/ shoot darts all day long. Best combo I've found.

                  I have good luck with Zap Primer and my boomy, Primer is my local field paint. We also have Grafitti(sp?), but I seem to have less trouble w/ the Primer.

                    I haven't found any paint that shoots better out of a boomy than evil.

                      I've found that out of a boomie, marbalizers fly as straight as laser beams.

                            I'd say try zap primer. It is cheap, small bore, has a decent fill, and flies straight with correct bore matching. I shoot it out of my .687 barrel with good results.
