: i have a cp barrel that is a .693 bore and i cant find any paintballs that wont roll right out of it....if you know of any brand of paint that is larger than others, and would work with this barrel -- please let me know... : im open to any suggestions... : thanks A lot of people have spent time charting paintball sizes - problem is no manufacturer makes all their paint the same size. They are all trying to make their paint 0.68 - each batch (and even each case, and even each ball within the case) varies from that. As evidence - there are teams with full paint sponsorships who always shoot the same, top brand paint, because that's what they are sponsored for. Yet, they don't bring just one barrel, because they can't count on the paint being the size that the size chart says that brand will be. They match their barrels (or barrel inserts) to the paint at the field. Your best bet is to pick up a smaller bore barrel, and then use whichever best fits to the freshest paint you can get at the field. See you on the field, -Bill Mills
