Tapers

what do you guys prefer for your shaders, long or short tapers?

I generally use long tapers. Pulse's mags are a medium taper which is cool but I like my mags a little looser than theirs. I use TCM's mostly but was thinking of giving Mythra a try. From what I hear they're great. Most of the guys that I know that use them use the long tapers. I'm always interested in hearing a variety of opinions.

Sorry guy's,
I tried to look for the "Mythra" needles and found this

Spelled a little different.

I, "Like Sean" also tend to use CAM premades.
You can choose the taper and grouping style you prefer. Quite a wide variety actually.

I used to use CAM needles. Lately, I've been using needles from Tat-Supply (Whitehall Medical). I've had great luck with their needles, and the seem to penetrate far better than what I was getting from CAM.
