What loader for brittle paint?

[ajustin]

I currently have an invert too and it seems to put too much force on brittle paint so I've been dealing with alot of paint breaks in the chamber. Worked great when I used cheaper, harder shelled paint but for tournament grade I've been having alot of issues.
What's a good loader out there that is good with dealing with brittle paint?

A prophecy works really well, either that or a rotor dc:)

i dont think halo too's are force fed. what kind of gun are you using and where are you getting breaks?

[ajustin]

It's an Invert Too, similar to Halo's. Shooting an 09 PMR and getting breaks in the breach and early in the barrel as well.

halo too, invert too - same thing. one of the differences between a halo and a halo too is that the drive cone on the too is not spring loaded. it just feeds everytime it hears the gun shoot, so there isnt any tension on the ball stack. I dont think its your loader. I also own a halo too and havent had any problems with it. hope this helps

May I ask, why would you use a force feed with brittle paint brian? lol they may be great loaders but forcefeed blows on brittle paint.

Never had an issue with my Proph and brittle paint.

That may be, but it still isnt the best loader for brittle paint being a force feed.

The bad part about it is that you can't dial back the tension it puts on the balls like some of the higher end loaders. Do magnetic clutches help with this issue?

Yes they do. You can adjust the magnetic tension so the loader is very gentle on paint.

Forcefeed loaders do just fine with brittle paint. Take a look at what the pro teams use when they are shooting brittle tournament paint. Rotors and prophs.

Something tells me its user error, i have put the most brittle paint through my prophecy by the case with no error
