Sniper grade bb's

    I have a re-built bar-10 bolt action sniper. It has a firefly hop-up rubber with a 6.03, 460mm tb barrel in it. Anyway the first day i used this gun it was amazing. better than any aeg iv ever had. I got around 1000 .25g bbs off a friend of mine when i first used the gun. However he did'nt know what brand bb's they were. sence then i have tried excel and King arms .25's and blaster .23's. They are good in it but just not near as good as the first bb's i used in it.

    Anyway I am wondering what bb's to get? Can you get sniper grade or bb's that are specially designed for tight bore barrels?

    Hope you can get back to me on this.
    Thanks

    i personally think KA and excel bb's are very consistant in tightbore setups and so would be my bb's of choice.

    Try heavier BBs? Perhaps 0.28g or 0.30g?

    I haven't seen many shops selling them, but Madbulls new range of precision BB's are fantastic. Zero issues with a 6.01 setup, and come in a multitude of weights :)

    I'm currently using madbull precision .25g bios (in the absence of Bioval supplies ... thank you very f*cking much Cybergun you asshat w@nkers ... ) in guns that have tightbore barrels. No complaints with the madbull BB performance thus far

    the newer batches of G&G bb's are made in a different factory than before where the quality control is not as strict,so the new ones are pants, just something to be aware of.....................

    Jaysus, might stay away from them so. Its so hard to find good quality bb's these days. Especially for a sniper considering that each shot needs to be pretty exact

    AFAIK the KA bb's are made in the "old" G&G factory so the KA's are top notch. i am using the ka ones with no issues so far!
