Ningyang Xinxin Stainless Steel Ball Manufacture Co.,Ltd Expands Product Line with .68 Cal Plastic Coated Steel Balls
As a leading manufacturer of solid plastic balls, we are proud to announce the launch of our new .68 Cal (17.3mm) plastic coated steel balls – reusable paintballs engineered for high-intensity training environments. Combining a hardened steel core with a durable plastic jacket, these reusable paintballs deliver the weight, impact and repeatability that demanding users expect from professional-grade training ammunition.
The new line is now available for wholesale orders worldwide, with custom color and packaging options for brand owners and distributors.
H2: What Are Plastic Coated Steel Balls?
Plastic coated steel balls are a class of reusable paintball ammunition consisting of a precision steel core wrapped in a tough plastic or rubber jacket. At 17.3mm diameter - the international .68 caliber standard - each ball is calibrated for reliable feeding and consistent flight in mainstream .68 caliber markers and launchers.
Unlike traditional gelatin paintballs that burst on impact, these solid projectiles are designed to be reused hundreds of times, making them a cost-efficient alternative for training ranges, tactical programs and professional users.
H2: Key Features and Benefits
Steel Core, Plastic Jacket – A hardened steel core provides density and momentum; the plastic jacket protects the barrel and reduces bounce unpredictability.
Genuinely Reusable – Reusable hundreds of cycles per ball; one order serves years of training with near-zero per-shot cost.
Multiple Weight Options – Available in 8.5g, 9.9g and 10.5g versions to suit different marker power levels and training goals.
Standard .68 Caliber (17.3mm) – Precision diameter for jam-free feeding and stable flight in HDR68, HDS68, HDX68, HDB68, Pistelle X-68 and other .68 cal markers.
All-Weather Performance – Waterproof, temperature resistant, and resistant to swelling, cracking and fading.
Custom Colors – Available in a range of colors plus OEM color matching for brand consistency.
