What are the hardest heavyweight bbs? At least .36 would be nice - and all of my bbs get scratched when chambering them, so they need to be REALLY hard.

I don't have much experience with BBs over .3's, But I do know that Biovals are very solid indeed. I always use their .28s, but they do have .3s, .36s, and .4s.

I've heard that those are actually really soft...

The problem is the tanaka mag and nozzle - both are sharp, and tend to scratch bbs.

I have some Bioval .40's. I could send you 20 or so.

But I would imagine that putting them in an envelope would be a bad idea, yes?

Not heavy, but Bioval .27's are the hardest BBs on the market. Silica FTW.

In my opinion the best heavy weight bb's out there right now are the madbull .4, they are tan in color. I hate the black .43's as I can never see them. I visually inspect each indiviual BB and I end up throwing away about 20 % of them. As to there hardness I cannot say but I have never thought they were soft.

If the mags feed lips and nozzle are sharp you could just sand them a little bit to smooth the sharp edges.
That would eliminate your problem at its source.

Also on the contrary Bioval BBs are very hard. They are engineered to be.

Brainplay on ASF told a member a little while ago, that if your nozel and mag are scratching your bbs then you should polish them with matterials that you would use to polish your inner barrel. I use .36 madbulls in my tanaka, but my nozel was polished by the previous owner.

The heviest and hardest 6mm bb's are the Pearl BB's made by BBBastard. They are .66g and cost $15 (Canadian dollars) for 6 I believe. They are made out of the same ceramic they use on the space shuttle. Yep. I know everything. They are actually re-usable after a cleaning because they are rock hard supposdly.

EDIT: Wow I can't spell today...

 

[furrycowthingy]

That you be nice to have just one of those BB's. I could dig .66's.

 

[Cheese Man]

I found some tests that indicate that the bbbastard heavies are actually quite hard, so I will be giving those a try, as well as polishing the feed lips and nozzle. Thanks guys!

 

[inthetallgrass]

They are also very expensive and I don't have any. They are made or ceramic tiles off the space shuttle of course they-re hard

 

[Cheese Man]

Not the CNC ones, his others.

Polish the edged of the mag and nozzle. The problem is not the bb it is the sharp edges. Sharp edges are quite easy to remove.
