I have a bottle of "Black Diamond Anodized .177 Steel BB's" and
I'm curious about their accuracy in my pellet rifles. Before I
let curiosity get the best of me, I thought I would ask those who
know.
Will these damage the rifling in my barrel or not?
Thanks,
Bob

Re: Anodized BB's
Anodized? Steel? Hmmm ....
I wouldn't put anything steel thru a conventional rifled barrel on a good airgun. Risk of damage, and likely mediocre accuracy to begin with.
The old Powerline polygon barrels were ok. I shot a lot of BB's thru mine, until I discovered how much better Crosman pellets performed on blue-jays. At least the ones that didn't slide out the barrel if I tipped it down. And then I got some 'Hobby' pellets ...

Re: Anodized BB's
There's one way to find out. Why run the risk?
You'll shoot your eye out.

Okay, thanks. I'll save my BB's for my BB gun. Still hoping I don't shoot my eye out!
