Paint to Barrel Bore Matching

240SX · 09-01-2010, 02:49 PM

I'm just wondering what everone on here does for electro play. I've been a stickler on bore matching for quite a while now but it seems like more and more players are just going with a single over-bored barrel. What's everyone's feelings on the topic?

I do a moderate underbore, I basically just use a .675 tymcneer freak insert on all my paint, unless it starts breaking, then I move up to a .680. This was on my viking. Hasn't failed me yet.

Slight under. .682 for electro or .679 for pump

If it's a grab bag of old and random paint, .686

.691 or .693 in a freak on my ego..the paint in washington seems to be a bit on the big side..well the kind I buy anyway

I use a .689 dye one piece on everything. Just stick it on, chrono and go. I didn't notice accuracy or any substantial efficiency gains so I sold my freak kit and am down to like 2 .689's and a .693.

This is pretty much what I do on mags. I have a couple .689 barrels..can shoot pretty much anything through them. I go for a slight underbore on pumps though.

I tend to slightly underbore semis (easy to blow the paint through an insert) and moderately underbore pumps (more difficult to blow the paint through an insert).

I tend to do just this, with an exception. I slightly underbore open bolt semi, Cockers are played the same as Snipers. Of course, my last two open bolt semi's are for sale right now so....

I use a .679 CP for electro/mech and a .679 freak for pump. Seems like all paint is small!

I like to underbore with my pump and like to match the bore with my semis.
