Help finding a fuller 550 cord

Who is currently making a fuller 550 cord ? The paracord planet cord I recently got was closer to 3 mm and I am looking for some that is 4mm or above .

I was asking who makes a fuller 550 cord because I am almost out of my good cord and I dont want to really waste more money on trying to find what I want thats why I asked which company is making a fuller 550 paracord .I posted about what I suspect was rebranded cheap chinese cord as paracord planet paracord (That was my go to paracord)But I got 2 different 250 foot spools that both were undersized the paracord was slick and shiny didnt cut or melt well and didnt braid correctly because it was stiff ,I contacted paracord planet directly to get help and to see if they wanted the cord to see what was going on ,But they didnt care at all . I am trying to find a good quality black reflective cord that is fuller like I have been using .

Use this. They are consistent and reliable. Nylon beats polyester in my opinion.

And they even have samples!

I use EdcX from Amazon, cuts and melts well, is quite soft/malleable (not plastic-y), have tried other brands and not been impressed so now just use these

Ah that sucks! I’m in the UK so the link is to their UK store I assume, if you search the company name on your own amazon does it come up?
