I use AE, but I am probably going to switch back to matrix because of the price. Accuracy by volume>all

I've used Excels pretty much all the time. Used Systema .2's for a while, but no one carries them anymore. I've never really had any feeding problems with either of them.

I agree with the Crosman bb's used as back ups. they are a good for the price and avaible at your near by walmart. I would never use those cyber gun bb's from there though. Pooooopy!

Thanks for all the responses...now here is a question...if I want to refine my question to deal with heavier mass bb's for sniping, should I just create a new thread?

I've used all sorts of BB's. And tested various types in the field, not just lab tests. There's currently only two brands I recommend (and not because I sell one of them either) and that's the Excel (Bio) and Killer Beez.
As for as price, the heavier weight the more expensive they will become, add that to quality and the price continues to go up. Don't be suprised to pay $20+ for 1500 rounds of .33 and higher.

Killer Bees for me...Hands down. They're the finest BBs I've EVER used not to mention they are made right here in the U.S.(California) so thats another selling point for me. Many people complain about the price but the thing is, you're paying for the highest quality available. When it comes to quality, precision and consistancy...Killer Bees has my vote 100%.

Thank you for the links. ...Unless your shooting crazy hot which is ABOVER 550fps, which we dont allow usually, then you wouldnt need any heavier BB. Yeah, no! I have been shot by a "hot" gun at 547 fps...and I would never do that to somebody. When I get off my dead arse and build my VSR-10 it'll probably clock in around 450...after that, there really isn't much improvement on preformance, and your opponents (in my experience) thank you for not breaking skin through bdu's. joat

I've taken a lot of sniper rounds, at various ranges and none of them have hurt any more than a standard AEG, save for the one time Frostee shot me in the back of the head at 20 feet...an 'accidental' shot, since we were on the same team and he allegedly hit a twig, redirecting the round to my poor skull. The difference between 450 and 520 or so is considerable, I don't care what anyone says...if 70FPS isn't a big difference, then why do people insist on shooting 350 vs. stock? If you're shooting at less than 500 with a sniper rifle, you're unnecessarily handicapping yourself.

I have shot both a "550" fps sniper and a 425 fps sniper rifle...in fact, I own them...and when I am preforming rutine sighting in's of my guns (an excuse to shoot them), I am not impressed with the difference in range that the 550 has over the 425. Now, granted, this could be due to hop unit, bb varience, and a whole host of other factors, but I prefer to have people thank me at the end of a game for not hurting them...and yes, being shot from 175 feet away with a 550 does hurt...unless you are wearing plates, and I don't see why you would...
Regardless, I am not here to start an argument. I can see where you are comming from, and yes, the 550 does increase my range...but I do not feel that it is worth the increased risk for injury...murphy's law...I have seen a friend's finger broken by a 540 sniper from 50 feet away from an accidental shot...i never know when I will preform an accident, and I prefer to take that little loss of range over the fact that I am not as likely to injur my opponent.

I usually use Softair brand. They're cheap but reliable, never given me a problem.

Anything with Softair is generally A) Found in stores like Walmart and Meijer's or B) Is Chinese. Albeit there are some retailers which respectably use Softair as a description, as a general rule, avoid that name. Thus Softair BB's = cheap .12's from Wally World = bad.

So would that make me a bad person if I shot .12g bb's from Wally World?
On topic: I shoot Killer Beez .28's, they fly farther than .3's with the same accuracy, so that's my game.
