    for a Maruzen aps2 ,which im sure i've increased the stock fps of 280 to at least 300 with different diy mods, the obvious choice of bb is the .25 but I've seen the .28 and wondered is that just for the more powerful guns.
    do any of ye have any experience using .28s?
    if so how do they compare to .25s?
    is the range affected much?
    feel free to comment on this subject.

    Please bear in mind that 1j with a .25 is 292 fps.

    In my opinion - although FireKitten will be able to say with far greater certainty - you wont see a great gain in accuracy for the pay-off in fps drop between a .25 and .28, and that you'll only start to see the benefit in .36 or .43 if you're playing at higher limits (e.g. UK sites, with 500fps bolt-action limits) with guns that you've spent quite a bit of time tinkering with to "get right".

    so i should just go for the .25 since there cheaper and more common?
