I've got balls!

I was cruising a gun show and spotted a tin of GAMO .177 round lead balls for $3. What the hell, I have three .177 guns.

Took them to the range and shot some targets with them, followed by some RWS Basics. Small, messy holes, but the scores were the same.

I guess I'll use them in my R7 to play/hunt with.

So much for all that highly scientific pellet testing . . . .

When you don't care enough to send the best.

Let our friend Rover never be accused of false modesty. 0.177" diameter balls?

Greetings,

BB size shot is 0.18".

Rover may have found an economical practice round.

Also, being round, you cannot insert them backwards!!!

A 25 pound bag should last all Winter Training.

Cheers,

Dave
