These are our latest slug addition for the .68 cal MAG-FED lineup, weighing in at 77 grains, whereas your average 5.56x65mm NATO green point M855A1 weighs in 64 grains. Muzzle velocity is of course, miles apart.
These slugs feature deeper hellical grooves down the outer body of the slug, to catch the wind that the slug breaks through in-flight, in order to spin it. This increases flight stability and accordingly, increases accuracy.
The rear has a hollow base to scoop in as much propellent and because the walls on said are so beefy, they won't readily expand outward to compress better inside the barrel. To solve this, we print these slugs w/ a slightly flared out skirt end, which better seals the propulsion gas in behind it, to increase acceleration through the barrel. Note therefore, that a muzzle break does come in handy - you'll need to have a harder / higher compression spring behind your marker's rear bolt, than the standard paintball regulation friendly one, in order to make effective use of these weighted rounds.
Also, w/ mag-fed paintball magazines that have lighter springs, such as your TiPX markers, you'll need to add a thick shim in under the spring, in order to feed these rounds.
Markers such as the TIBERIUS T-15, especially w/ a fuller loaded magazine, should shoot these just fine, although we have not yet tested this ourselves yet.
The SPYDER MR-series load and shoot these rounds just fine (See illustrated). In fact, these shoot w/ surprising accuracy w/ our SPYDER ASSAULT SPRING. Not only that, but for some reason, these rounds shoot very quiet outdoors.. You literally only hear the "hammer ping" sound (tested from two different MR6 models w/ the stock barrel and muzzle break), followed by the sound of the round impacting or ricochetting. Against steel or stone targets, you can expect to see sparks resulting from impact.
Also, the HDR 68 should be compatible w/ these slugs, though we unfortunately do not have test data on this at time, although, please do check back here at a later stage, if not, then on the HDR 68's product description..

Please have a look at the images indicating impact, respectively against 14mm chipboard w/ melamine coating, then also a shelf of solid steel (1.15mm cross-section) , that came out of a 70's-manufactured CHUBB safe. You'll see that these rounds DO NOT PLAY, and accordingly we advise the end users of these slugs to ESPECIALLY practice muzzle discipline.
