Oddly enough, KSC Perfects jam up the magazines for my KSC Glock 17 and give me feed problems. I've had feed problems in my CA M15 with them as well. But they've been fine in all my other guns. The KSC BBs were from 3 different sources too (one from redwolf, one from Uncompany, and one bag from some other ebay seller), so I don't think they would all be 'bad batches'.

Been using Metaltech lately, and haven't had an issue in any of my guns. Fired off almost a whole bag of their black .20s so far, and no issues whatsoever, either with jams or with accuracy. I did have to tighten the hop-ups on ALL my guns with metaltech though.

Can't say what they're like with tightbores though. I have stock barrels on all my guns.

I've not really seen a point to carrying .23gr. The demand hasn't been there and frankly the different between .20gr or .25gr up or down doesn't make a whole lot of difference (perhaps +-10/20 fps using CDN_Stalker's latest FPS rule). I basically follow the demand as best I can so if there is an overwhelming desire on the part of the community to have .23gr, I may carry them in the future.

My answer was to "where BB's could be found": contact the retailers and ask. If you dont have any Scarecrow, then the person needs to check with other retailers.

I saw the question the same way as "where can I buy propane?"

Understood, I was just informing from my position and your advice was a good seqway...

Scarecrow, Can you please explain why bb bastard .30 bb are 5 times the price of their .20 counterparts? I dont think plastic is that expensive!

Yea... 25 bucks for 1000 .30's... With KSC pefects, 20 bucks gets you 2000..

KSC also produce BBs by the tens of millions and benefit from economy of scale.

Duely noted I understand now.

I would much rather support a Canadian business... I'll see if some local person has BBB .30's that I could try before I buy..

I rather support a canadian buisness also but 75$ worth of bbs per game? No thanks.

3000 rounds of any weight per game is a bit prodigious.... If your trigger finger's that heavy, maybe you don't need to switch to 0.30g.... If you switch to 0.30g, maybe you won't need 3000 rounds to hit something.

3000 rds thats on a small game by the way lol

[CDN_Stalker]

I hardly see that as a case of bragging. Lol

well my gun shoots about 20+ bps so that dosent help
