lead BBs in rifled barrels

[thom]

I have several airguns, pistols and rifles, in .177 caliber that will shoot pellets and/or BBs. I will not shoot steel BBS because I don't want to damage the rifling. I'm thinking about trying some lead BBs but no one in my area stocks them. I can order them but was wondering about BB size shot for reloading shotgun shells. Are they the right size for a .177 caliber gun and are they precise (round) enough to work? There is a gun shop near me that probably has them.

Hi,
I am anxious to try the ammo you describe but will caution you about searching for lead shotgun BBs featuring out of control circumferences.
I am newly reaquainted with the sport and have collected Gamo Round Ball practice ammo in .177 and .22 to try via e bay from a vendor called e cop.
No results to date.
