I have been using master cams through red then c4s .75 and up. This works well but the red master cam and .75 are close but not so much I would leave either. What have others been doing?

Wild Country Zeros 3-6, Master Cams 1-6, Wild Country Tech Friends 2.5 and up. This gives me a some overlap and really good size coverage.

Another vote for mastercams through #3 and C4s above that when you're not doubling up.

the red is good when you think you're going to need it, but otherwise, i'd leave it on the deck because its smaller than .75, but the orange is essentially the same as the .5 C4, which means the .75 overlaps the orange just enough that the red really isnt necessary unless you need more than one piece that size. my normal rack is mastercams to yellow (sometimes orange), bd above that. if i double up, i usually add C3s to the mix and then double up on C4s above that.

Yup, I love the C3 + MasterCam combo when doubling up. They really are different beasts.

Dave--

I also carry Master Cams through number four, but I actually carry BD Camalots from .5 > #3. Because the .5 Camalot is in between the #3 and #4 Master Cams I find it provides a great overlap that covers everything in that size range. I always seem to find cracks that are a little too big for the orange MC and just a bit small for the red MC; but a .5 Camalot fits juuuuuuuuust right.
