why are you wanting to go for a stock type bore? Most of the best barrels (read consistant, smooth bore) are 6.03 6.02 and 6.01.

I've heard that 6.01 barrels are superior when it comes to generating greater power, but they are not a good choice for long range engagements because there is less space for the BB to ride on a cushion of air from the hop up. Barrels with a wider bore produce a more consistent hop, which is paramount when it comes to sniping. Based on what I've read, (for long range engagements), the PDI 6.05 barrel is the best choice, which is why I'm considering investing in one.

Other way around. A bigger bore=more volume, so more volume wasted, so lighter ammo.

What you say here does make sense. With that in mind, would the following set-up match the ratios better?:
- 450FPS
- PDI 6.05 430mm tightbore barrel
- 0.30g - 0.36g BBs
Alternatively, what about this one?
- 450FPS
- PDI 6.01 303mm tightbore barrel
- 0.40g - 0.43g BBs
