    Best loader?

    For starters any force feed hopper will be good. Depending on what kind of RoF you’re aiming at you might need something fast (over ~16 bps). For high RoF I think Dye rotors are your best bet, they should be capable of up to something like 40 bps.

    Personally I like spire3.

    You cant beat the new Spires. There is also a new lower end one that is really good too I just cant think of the name of it.

    depending how fast or quickly you are planning to shoot a spire may not be fast enough. I outshoot spires with mags and mech cockers because the ball stack and time to start the agitation is to long.

    I will be taking advantage of the rt effect at times.

    Spire 3, you can adjust pretty much any parameter you want.

    Dye wouldn't be a bad choice either though

    I guess my only real concern is chopping paint.

    If you are running x valve you have lvl10. Just tune it.

    Nothing is going to be able to prevent all barrel breaks but I don't see a problem with any of the top end hoppers except maybe the pinokio

    Sven Doktor doesn't seem to have problems with the long nose loaders.

    Virtue has a deal right now for a Spire III, pack, and pants for $250. Seems like a good deal.

    Right now I use a Gi LVL. It’s $80, works decent enough and saved my bacon when I grenaded my Vlocity in 20* weather in NY...

    Lol, you will find that RT'ing all the time gets old real quick when you run throw your pack of paint/game.

    If you have a well setup L10 mag, regardless of mag type(though you won't take full advantage of the emag), you can put on any loader and not fear a chop. So you can put any loader on it.

    Spires work, but can be outrun with mags(at the highest rof). Halos work, but are heavy. Empire loaders work but can be fragile/finicky. Rotors work, but are loud and can, at times not feed/jam/slice paint.

    Anything newer? I can't give an opinion, as i have no experience with them.

    So go with what you know, go with what you like. In most cases, you could get your money back on the secondary market on a new purchase loader, or go used & hooe to flip it with no loss.

    Ha!

    Cheap

    Virtue

    Good joke

    Anywhere you can find it is going to be roughly the same. I do recommend a speed feed with it. Virtues is probably the best but again, also the most expensive.

    My Rotor LT-R seems to work just fine with many different fast feeding mags or other electros I've tested it with.
