Simple question... which BBs would you suggest for using in spring sniper weapons? Not the .2s and .25s because I was told that they are way to light for sniping.

.40 or .43 if it is in the 500fps area.

It really does depend on FPS¡£
Lower amounts£¬ say sub 450£¬ I would really recommend 0.3£¨£¿£©£¬ sub 500£¬ 0.4 or 0.38 £¨£¿£©£¬ Above that£¬ 0.43 or higher¡£ If you shoot over 600 and are OK to use it£¬ try and get 0.6.
Just my thoughts¡£

Heavier BB's travel slower and you will lose "some" distance, but in return you get a much more stable trajectory (more resistant to crosswind due to BB mass being harder to push) and you also get more brush penetration power. I've seen my friend shoot 0.20's out of his sniper (for fun and to prove a point) and I've watched the BB's bounce of leaves before reaching their intended target. 0.40g+ will often "push through" the brush a bit more, and if you havent noticed there are a lot of trees and bushes in MI> ;D
Also, I wouldnt use anything less than a 0.25g BB in any airsoft gun (disclaimer: flamethrowers, grenades, etc not included).

Heavier BB's travel slower and you will lose "some" distance Actually due to inertia, the .43g bb will travel farther than the .20g bb. You will actually gain distance. Its the same reason that a .43g bb will break through the brush, whereas a .20g bb bounces off. |

As mentioned, a heavier bb will perform better than a lighter one when fired out of a high FPS rifle.
When I first received my 550 FPS BAR-10, I fired it for the first time with .20s and couldn't hit anything I aimed at. When I switched to .30s, I could not only hit whatever I aimed at, I could hit things further away because the trajectory was far more predictable.

Its the same reason that a .43g bb will break through the brush, whereas a .20g bb bounces off. I don't think this is true. Effective range will increase, but I don't think you will increase maximum range. From my testing with .20s and .28s I've seen that .20s will travel further because they can travel more distance before gravity pulls it down to earth. Since the .28s are more accurate though you will be able to shoot more consistently at range though. To counter my own argument the only thing that would help a heavier bb is that it can carry more energy while moving slower. Since wind resistance is non linear it is possible for it to travel further, but I don't think this can happen before gravity pulls it back down to earth. I believe Tank independently tested this up north and came up with the same result. I'll see if I can dig up the spreadsheet I put together when I was testing the drop in velocity over distance. |

The Ideal weight in my M24 is ... .36, Anything heavier seems useless.
