I wondered about this and i would bet this could well be because of the flat spot on the BB's i'm using, namely crossman. If ht eflat spot happens to spent an inodinate time facing sideways in the barrel on it's way out, no doubt some gas can escape around it instead of pushing the BB. This would explain the randomness of these weaker shots. Might well hamper accuracy too, So does anyone make a better BB that totally round, IE no flats spots or other anomalies?   Posted: Mon Jun 28, 2010 3:12 pm Slavia Moderator Joined: 31 Mar 2008 Posts: 4382 Location: Waseca, Minnesota, USA Try this: http://www.pyramydair.com/s/p/Avanti_Precision_Ground_Shot_177_Cal_5_1_Grains_BBs_500ct/398#productDescription And, the history of the BB, including your flat spots: http://www.pyramydair.com/site/articles/bb-history/ _________________ ¡Listo! ¡Apunte! ¡Fuego!   Posted: Mon Jun 28, 2010 4:11 pm deadrats Member Joined: 19 Jun 2010 Posts: 72 yeah, i saw that and actually there only seem to be 2 BB's i can find that call themselves a superior BB. That and daisy premium. I wonder if the avanti are really enough better to warrent a price thats around 5 times the price tho.

We switched to ball bearings this year for compitition because we were tossing out more that half the avantis when we gauged them.   Posted: Sun Dec 07, 2014 12:12 am Luposian New Member Joined: 06 Dec 2014 Posts: 11 Location: Sierra Vista, AZ shawn706 wrote: Avanti's are a little better but not by much.

I was thinking about that very thing, trying to research it myself... I'd love to try some .177 (4.5mm?) ball bearings in my Marksman Zombie Splat BB Repeater rifle... just for kicks. Can someone do a blog or post with pictures of spherical quality (different brands of BB's vs. actual ball bearings) and shooting tests to see if there is a significant difference, performance-wise? any better quality BB's?     Air Gun Home Forum Index » BB Guns You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum All times are GMT - 5 Hours   Page 1 of 1   All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First  Select a forum Main Forums----------------AirGunHome Q&AGeneral Air Gun Questions and TopicsPicture GalleryTarget Shooting: Casual, Fun and CompetitionHunting, Pest Control, Varminting People/Events/Airgun Issue Discussion----------------Introduce YourselfThe BS TopicClubs/Events/Regional/Political Airgun Issues Maintenance, Modification and Reviews----------------RiflesPistolsAntique, Collector and Novelty AirgunsBB GunsPellets/AmmoOpticsAccessoriesAirgun Smithing Buy, Sell or Trade Forums----------------For SaleWant to Buy   Note: If you are seeing "Please enter your username and password to log in."
