Will improvements be major? Probably not.
That may be, but the way I read their comments on Facebook, they make it sound like the "new" paint is almost ready.

Here's what I'm talking about:

What do you have to say to this data regarding .50 cal vs .68 cal: incynr8's .50 ballistics calcs and
.50 Caliber Ballistics Report - PbNation

Tom Kelley:
Roger, you are aware that part of that data shows .50 outperforming .68... Which is why they are pretty much useless until someone tells us the final weight and size of the paint...

The paint is not finished yet.. Once the actual weight is accomplished, then we shall see. Also, another thing is that the 50 cal has a much thinner shell. It breaks on impact much more easily at distance then the 68.

There are 5 different brands in the GI Milsim line, 4-Star (which will be the top pro tourney level ball), 3-Star, 2-Star, 1-Star and a Winter Formula.

Depending on the brand, the weights will be different.

They are made to provide players with the same flight attributes of .68 Caliber. They are tested at 300 fps and less, just like .68 Caliber.
