    I use the field one barrel and really like it - that said I pay no attention to numbers, and it takes a game or two sometimes to get the right insert. I always start with the blow test and that gets me close. if the paints wonky I'll have to go up a size or two. some days the old cocker is just not having it regardless of insert and I grab my EMEK (which I might just switch to permanently as its just so frickin' nice to shoot). My trusty palmers .689 wedgited barrel is just to heavy anymore, even through it will solve the problem for the cocker.

      Overbore to .689 everyday, all day. Efficiency be damned. My air-tank shoots more than the pods I carry anyways.
      Do hard things for fun. Being soft is for sissies. Being an asshole is easy, thats why everyone is one. Being stand up us hard. Be a hard bastard but be respectful.

        I only used three inserts or bore sizes spaced about .004 or .005 inches apart, e.g. 677 682 687

        90% of the time, I am in the “medium” size

            Sometimes I'll feel spicy and use a .687

              I remember when I started pump...I didn't even think about a barrel kit at the time I just ran whatever I wanted and just kept my marker up if I knew I had a ball chambered or I would just shoot before I dropped my marker down now I'm older and got money to actually build guns so why not get a nice barrel

                When I was playing with my PGP the other day I legit just made sure I didn't chamber a round until I had to shoot. Good thing they're rock back
