Mid caps that will properly feed .30 BB's and heavier?

Rossco66 · March 6th, 2015, 16:18

I have had numerous issues with my mid cap mags not feeding heavier BB's.

.30 is hit or miss and .32 is mostly miss. This occurs in a variety of brands/rifles and I was wondering if anyone had found the holy grail of mid caps that will flawlessly feed high quality heavier BBs.

I suspect it may be a spring strength thing because high caps will feed when done cranking the Wheel of Fortune.

Any input on a fix for current mags or a brand of mid caps that you have had success with would be appreciated.

Bring on the thaw!!!!:infantry:

100% fine on Bioval .30

1) MAG mag's STANAG 190 rnd metal, and MAG Mag M16VN 90 round
2) Beta Project PMAG
3) Magpul PTS PMAG

MAG mags, G&G mags and P/T/E/EPM mags all seem to be fine.

Rossco66 · March 6th, 2015, 16:27

The PTS PMAG is mostly hit for the .30 but mostly miss for the .32 I haven't tried the other two yet though

What brand .32s? My buddy runs all EPMs with madbull .32s and they feed fine.

Socom Gear mags (Noveske style, or Lancer L5) worked great for me with any BBs, including elite force milsim max .32

Ditto for my VFC mid-caps, but yeesh expensive.

Could possibly just be the quality of the BB's you're using?

Rossco66 · March 6th, 2015, 16:47

Bioshot.

How old are the bioshots? I started having issues with mine after a few months, they degraded in the bag due to the presence of humidity

Rossco66 · March 6th, 2015, 17:32

New.

Spike · March 6th, 2015, 17:42

I have had only poor luck with bioshot BBs.

Rossco66 · March 6th, 2015, 19:48

Hard to imagine that it's just the BBS. It's not like they're from Crappy Tire

lurkingknight · March 6th, 2015, 20:01

it's the BBs. T_T

I'm still not over it... it's tragic.

Throw some Bastard .28s in there and you will be fine, also the .28 Elite Force BB's Trev sells are really good as well. Never had any issues with either and with a high rate of fire gun
The .30 bastards are great (maybe even the best i have ever used) as well but they are not Bio, but they are my go to BB for any other game
