of course .3 is a common pencil lead size and allows for the most thing/fine lines, however I am not aware of rotoring pencils in this diameter.

yes, a lead holder is just like any other mechanical pencil, you just depress the button and the clutch part opens up and you feed it in backwards

Alloy pellets will travel faster and more accurate, but lead pellets typically deliver a bigger punch. Lead since you are shooting from relatively close up.

I believe the lead that comes with this mechanical pencil is graded HB. So it's pretty much middle of the road in terms of darkness/hardness. I suspect it would work just fine. Personally, I prefer softer darker lead. I generally use 4B lead which leaves a noticeably darker line but also breaks easier. I would think the darker the line, the easier (faster?) it would be to fill in the little ovals on a scantron test. So it's a matter of preference I suppose.

I've only used the Black Warriors. I can't imagine a better pencil than the Black Warrior but being round it does tend to roll. The Classic Yellows are hexagonal and won't roll. The diameter of the Black Warrior is slightly larger than a standard pencil. Overall the Black Warrior just feels right.

The .5mm is designed to work with the appropriate size of the orifice to which the lead fed, hence any other size will not work. I wasn't aware that there was a .3 mm lead available. I've used .5, .7 and .9 mm.

It's not so much a must but it does give you more useable lead for a longer period of time. The lead is strong enough to take a long point without breaking while still being quite smooth.if you like writing, try the Blackwing Pearl or 602. They both have slightly harder lead thats still very smooth but keeps a point much longer.

Lead for mechanical pencils can be "rated" such as HB (hard, black) HB is code for #2 lead pencil. There is a little window in the pencil which displays which type you have input in case you want a softer lead (i.e. B) you could look in the window and see what grade your lead is.

Yes, I would recommend them for 3rd gr use. The thicker .7 mm lead helps keep writing steady and does not break as quickly as the .5mm.

This pack of three needs three different lead sizes, one pencil uses .3mm lead, another uses .5mm lead, and the third one uses .7mm lead. They all have lead already in them, but not that much. The eraser cap shows the lead size on the top and they are color coded.

Each pencil use different sizes.. 03mm,. 05mmand. 07mm. They each have a selector for different shades ie hb, b.

The lead is just the standard 1.3 mm lead you can buy almost anywhere. Not sure about the erasers but if they have Paper Mate products they will surely stock the replacement erasers. I haven't had to replace any yet.

I don't know but it is probably worth a try. The recommended pencil size fits, but the lead breaks very easily and it is a struggle. The slots are wide enough that I have been using an awl. The holes are insanely small. For me, there is far more accuracy here than I can utilize.

You can change it to indicate the hardness of the lead in the pencil. I like to have 2B in pencils I write with. HB is pretty standard, bit a little too hard for my liking.

Pablo offers dry and permanent lead, they are water resistant and have cedar casing. Supracolor have soft watersoluble leads, can be used wet or dry, and have cedar casing also. Both are top of the line; Caran d'Ache is the Rolls Royce of color pencils.
