Small bore paint

I have not played much this year. I have only played 4 times & only one of these has been a 24 hour game.
I have bought paint at 4 fields & its all been really small paint. I have had to use my .682 Freak insert.
Have you noticed the paint getting smaller? What sizes have you been getting? What brands? I have used Pro Caps ,RPS, & 1 i cant remember.

RPS Stinger .687-ish; PMI Premium .684 to .689; Procaps "Digital" Blaze .682; White Box Procaps .684 to .687. I've found the trend to be smaller in the South. But I also find that Procaps and the RPS to run smaller, while the ZAP line runs larger...

I know that at Oklahoma D-Day,,, Procaps (Draxxus) runs the paint smaller due to rising Humidity and Heat during the coarse of the Day and the paint swelling... Maybe other Companies are starting to take the Heat/Humidity of the South into account for their paint production as well...

just my 2 pennies...

I have notice this with PMI way back in 2004 and started a thread dedicated to this subject.
In my blog there is a paint size chart showing the different brands and sizes.
