KSC makes really nice .30g BB. If you're not really worried about an extra .02g, I would try .32g Elite Force BB's, really nice. G&G .30g's have been good to me as well.

Guys, comments on certain BB's just being "good" aren't very useful unless you share more about your system and specific results you have had with particular BB's. I'm not asking for an extremely in depth test or anything, but just saying "X bb worked well" doesn't really tell me, or anyone else anything.
I am of the belief that unless you have a gun with perfect, or near perfect, air seal and a high quality barrel, that it is pretty much impossible to accurately judge any given BB over another, since your system is flawed in that it has inconsistencies which prevent you from effectively eliminating all variables aside from the BB itself.
I can think of dozens of BB's that have worked nicely in my guns, but I haven't taken the time to sit down and collect usable data on them, so my recommendations would carry very little weight.

Heres this: www.foxairsoftblog.com/technical-articles/bb-comparison-review-2/Secondly, Ctres, the fact is that almost every Airsoft gun is going to have some form of "flaw" with each system, so no matter which gun we use (Even Polarstars) we would never have a true exact to the last decimal comparison of BB's. That being said, I think the OP is asking from our person experiences which BB's have we enjoyed. I can speak that Bioval's, KSC, Elite Force, and G&Gs are normally spoken of highly throughout the airsoft communities, specifically Arnies, airsoftmechanics, and other well known websites. I believe, let me search around for it, I just don't remember where I read it, someone did a 1+- FPS per shot every time, which is extremely consistent. He included the 3 different chronos worth of reading, washed vs unwashed, tolerances, weight, brand of like eight different BB's, and others.

Yes, no system is perfect, but consistency is key when you start talking about BB's, so details on what sort of set up you are running really helps to qualify your results. Some people try to do all encompassing tests, but someone will always find something wrong with their work. Tech methods and brands come and go, so often these big tests are irrelevant pretty quick. For the reasons I've already elaborated on, I guess my view is that BB's are moderately cheap, and you should test several brands to find what you think is best.

Well: using the p-force .3s in my Well mb07 gave me consistent accuracy and range, giving me a 5 inch spread with 1 flyer at 8 inches, out at 150 ft. I can't vouch for fps without a chrono, but it seemed pretty consistent as well. If I get a second I'll take a few more trials and post pictures at different ranges for proof/trial and error. I also have an order of goldenballs on the way, I will also be posting pictures of my setups, and results with both.

I will try to do the same when I am satisfied with the R-hop job I've done to my gun. I have yet to test fire it, I'll be doing that on Saturday I'm guessing. I purchased Bioval .30 for both X and myself.

So I tested out the pforce and Goldenball .3 bbs. I would post pictures, but I left the papers outside in the rain, so I can't actually show you them what I can tell you is that at 50, 75, and 100 feet they both performed great, with groupings of 3 inches, 3 and 3/4, and 5 respectively. However, the goldenball groupings started about an inch lower on the target. At 125 ft, the pforce had a 7" grouping, and the GB's with about an 8 inch spread. At 150, the pforce had 3 flyers, with about a 16 inch grouping. The goldenballs had only 1 flyer but a slightly larger grouping of 17-18 inches. My setup is an entirely stock Mb07, with an NCstar 3-9. I was shooting at a 20x20 piece of cardboard sitting on a folding chair, and replacing sheets of construction paper between each trial. There were light winds from left to right, and I did my best to compensate for the wind. I was shooting from my porch, laying prone. I took my time on each shot, but since I'm human, error is possible. Hope this helps.

I used G&G .28's and .30's last weekend. No misfeeds or jams. And I was getting really good accuracy with them.
