Premium paint in high pressure markers.

RPS rampage is cheaper than Premium, and shoots better, specially in mags.... it works wonders. i find that it always breaks on my target, and its only $38 a case

I use the same, great paint for the price.

Just straight Evil has some problems from time to time in my mag, some times it seems to blow apart in the barrel, sometimes seems like it gets chopped by my level x, and sometimes seems like the warp feed shoves them down to hard after a long string...next game I'm going to try marbs, and just stick with the Evil in my 'cocker

Hmmm, gonna have to try some of that Rampage stuff.
I found that every case of Premiums I bought or looked at, the balls were more oval than round.

the Stinger isn't too bad either, at least I've never had a problem with it, nor the premium, but I haven't had the chance to shoot the Rampage that I cand remember.

keep in mind, all of the paints mentioned are "lower" quality paint that have far thicker shells. we shoot stinger at practice because it's CHEAP but it's a horrible paint for shell breakage...

I ran into a problem this year, got a bunch of X-ball bronze because I heard they were so good. Work fine in my RT mag (level X) and Ion but all sorts of barrel breaks in my Nerve. Can't figure it out because everything else works fine but I guess that's the way it is.

MAybe it was a bad batch? I had first shot bronze cuz I too heard they were good and inexpensive, shot fine, but then after a few games i had nothing but breaks in the emag with level 10. Worked fine in the ion and impulse without a break the rest of he day.

I recently switched to Evil because the local shop sells it for only about $6 more a case and they were out of xball. The evil shot fine all day in the mag without a break.

Granted I did swap out the bolt spring and it seemed to be pinching softer, so either way.

Back to this again, eh? High pressure vs. low pressure is pretty much a myth. Input pressure is regulated down to about 400psi in the 'mag, same as the pressure in many "low-pressure" markers. The air pressure behind the ball is fairly similar in most markers.

That being said, every setup has its own preferred paint. Try a variety and go with what works.

I'm somewhat limited in what I've shot lately for paint, but the field I play at most of the time sells dxs bronze for $5 more than the bargain basement recsport. So for $50 a case (for field paint mind you) I must say it's excellent excellent paint, but I'd still have to classify it as a midgrade variety... CHEAP for me would be the $40ish and under range (per case).

My level-x is tuned to be harder on paint for a better efficiency... but still I've had a meer 3 chops in the 3cases of bronze I've shot there over the past month or so... and I rip my gun pretty hard for a mech... LOL last time I took soo many hits that didn't break on me... I was shooting the bronze and marking no problem but seriously just about every time I took a body hit it didn't break. They hurt a little more than usual but no break and I was happy to be in the game

What are some other good cheap paints besides the aforementioned stingers and rampage etc? I wanna try out some other paints but since where I play at only sells dxs... I have to go out of my way to aquire such variety. I'd love to find some super cheap priced (but high grade) white-box paint, anyone got the 20 on such a deal? I think First Call has some nice deals last time I checked...

Any suggestions for those "brittle" paints you're stuck using at events?? This past weekend I was stuck using some Zap crap. It was a hard yet very brittle shell paint. Size went anywhere from .687 to .695. I have a ULE mag with a X-valve and lvl 10 (red spring and 1.5 carrier is my normal setup). I never had a problem like this weekend with paint. I also run a QLoader. I tried running with my Halo and using a silver spring with a carrier one size smaller. I use a barrel kit and have 3 different bore sized Stiffis. Nothing worked perfect. The best setup was my Freak/Stiffi front w/ .693 insert, red spring, size smaller carrier, and QLoader.

high dwell and lower LPR.

as for paint, even the best stuff can be crap if it's not stored correctly. we won a bunch of inertia at the last tournament and it was JUUUUUNK..

i hate ultra evil..i shoulda taken a pik of that damage..coulda given lohmans devilmag/hellfire a run for its money

I have seen shockers with HE bolts not handle ultra evil pro, just blows it apart on contact, but runs great in my cocker, best paint I have EVER shot, but if I even try to run normal evil out of my mag it becomes a nice blended mess. You have to find what works best for your marker

[Rudz]

i can run evil and marbs all day with no problem, just not ultra evil, and no way in hell am i touching hellfire..
