Ground shot vs copperheads part 2 Crosman V300

[Septicdeath]

This will be the second test for the Daisy ground shot vs Crosman Copperheads My continued testing bb guns by buying better ammo. Bought some Daisy match grade shot and tested them in a Crosman V300 today at 25 feet. They were tested against the Crossman copperheads. They also seem to perform better in the V300 as they also did in the Daisy 188

The ground shot are slightly larger in diameter than the cheap BB's (.173 vs .171), and more uniform 
I think ground shot BB's will deliver all that your BB gun is capable of, the larger diameter seals the bore better, they even tend to shoot a little faster. 

I will continue testing on different bb guns.

Good idea. I wouldn't have expected the lead shot to be faster. Better fit for less blowby but only by a couple of percentage points, whereas lead is over 40% heavier than steel.

The ground shot are match grade steel bb's.

I’ve said before that I didn’t like the Crosman BBs and still don’t But I have seen now and then were they did shoot good in some guns. I don’t even like the looks of them though. I have some right here that I don’t even shoot anymore. If you look at them there’s a little flat on the edge and they just aren’t smooth. That’s why I think it’s odd that now and then you will see them shoot good in certain guns. I buy Daisy, Umarex Or air Venturi. All three of those have a very smooth finish and shoot good in my guns.But your results are interesting.

Sorry, my mistake. I read the word "shot" and my brain substituted "lead shot".
