Ammo weight to band set?

How do I know what weight steel my bands are meant to shoot? Ive shot B,B's from thin chinese bands the ones with the little pouches. with good results Now ive been playing with theraband gold. 3/8 and 1/4 are the caliber ammo and they work. I also shot white dollar store marbles. I cut my own pouches from good thick leather, my question is, does the size of the pouch have any effect on ammo size?

What Griffo said,also,I have found -by much trial and error=that for 3/8s and 1/4 inch thinner pouches work better [for me] and 5/8s to 3/4 inch wide is more than sufficient for ,both,i use a 9inch active length for my *draw* which is right at 34 inches,i als use 1"x8" TBG for marbles and 1/2 in steel as well as 3/8s hexnuts,hope this helps a little
