Just for kicks and giggles, I tried a lead BB shot in my .177 air rifle. The shot is just barely smaller than the chamber and drops in, but lodges against the rifling lands. I ran a half dozen or so through my caliper and got diameters from .173 to .182.
I test fired a few rounds at my hanging bottle target off the front porch and hit it every time. That ain't sayin' much, though, as the bottle's only about 50 feet from the steps where I sit to shoot.
When I get a chance, I'll put the rifle on a rest, set up a target and see how these BB shots do for accuracy.
A member sent me 33 ounces of lead BB shot. At about 8 grains each, I've got an estimated 1,800. That oughta' hold me a week or so, ya' think? :bigsmyl2:
