I like the packaging, precise diameter, and price. These relatively inexpensive lead roundballs functioned perfectly in my UMAREX STEEL STORM. After I made a barrel change to get more power and speed, I needed a precision round lead projectile to match the new barrel. It needed to be .001" smaller than the new smoothbore barrel, and the GAMO round fit the bill exactly. Further,they come in a screw-top lidded can avoiding the irritating spills associated with pry-top cans.
Things I would have changed:Nothing
What others should know:I like to add a few drops of TEFLON/silicon lubricant to the can to prelube the ammo.

This pellet did not have any performance characteristics that would convince me to purchase this one again. The attraction for me was that it was round and is actually a lead BB. In my opinion, by this pellet being round and not shaped to have a skirt was the flaw with this pellet. I believe that without the skirt, when shot, compressed air could get around this pellet due to it not being perfectly round, causing it to have a high extreme spread. In half of the breach loadings, the pellet would move almost a quarter inch down the barrel. I would lightly tap the bottom of the butt, after closing the breech, to move the pellet back towards the breech opening.
Things I would have changed:Nothing you can do with a round lead ball.
What others should know:I tested this pellet shooting 10 shot groups from 4 different .177 air guns. I also chronographed each shot over a Competition Electronics Digital Prochrono. The temperature was 38 degrees and overcast skies and calm to no wind at all. The air rifles used and the 10 shot group results are: Gamo Hunter "220" had an average velocity of 657.6 fps with a low of 604 fps and a high of 801 fps for an extreme spread of 279, Beeman RS2 Silver Kodiak averaged 697.1 fps with a low of 593 fps and a high of 751 fps for an extreme spread of 158, Gamo Big Cat 1250 averaged 752 fps with a low of 694 fps and a high of 803 fps for an extreme spread of 109 fps, and the Ruger Air Magnum averaged 796.1 fps with a low of 670 fps and a high of 880 fps for an extreme spread of 210 fps. Overall I did not have any enjoyment shooting this pellet at a 12"x12" target with a 1" bullseye, that was why I gave it 1 star in performance and accuracy, pellets were all over the target with 5 hits out of 40 on the bullseye

I used mine in a Daisy 880. You can load them singly- no pellet tumble or shooting them backwards - and they can be used in pellet traps.
Things I would have changed:My tins looked good with the new face cover showing a peppered pop can. They work in my magazine. Others may have to shoot singles. Having them ALL size at .177 would be great!
What others should know:You should test by seeing if they roll down the barrel. Just cock your gun and see if they roll. If they are tight, just shake them back out or tap them with a rod.

Really easy to load into a pellet rifle
Things I would have changed:I'd love these to be a bit cheaper
What others should know:A great option for easy loading into a single-shot pellet gun while maintaining the safety of lead pellets. Accurate enough for plinking various-sized metal targets.

Arrived in good condition, (round). Air a great match for my Beeman P17. Easy to load. Shooting in the 390fps range. Did I mention easy to load.
Things I would have changed:Price is a little disappointing. Come on its just lead shot.
What others should know:They fit tight in the barrel just like a pellet. No rolling out of the end if you point down. And shoot good. 5 shots free hand, all with in a 1/2 of center.

These lead bbs deform upon impact, therefore, reducing ricochets in confined spaces. They work well in my Gamo P23 and are fairly accurate.
Things I would have changed:I have found that current tins seem to have some of the lead balls deformed. They are a little pricey compared to regular bbs.

I have used them in some of my lower cost rifled barrel air rifles with on-board BB storage.
Things I would have changed:N/A
What others should know:If you use them in a BB gun like I do, remember they are lead and will not adhere to the magnet on the end of the bolt.

Clean, no casting lines or sprues
Things I would have changed:Pack these in a BB style speed loader. The rounds are a bit fiddly to grab onto from inside the tin
What others should know:Kinda interesting in a P17. Groups are not very tight as compared to some of the better pellet choices, but not bad for casual plinking at 30 feet. I'm getting well under 1" once I reset my elevation for the reduced velocity

The spherical lead BB's are accurate, fly faster than regular pellets but being heavier hit harder.
Things I would have changed:Not a thing!
What others should know:Being lead, If shot from a high power air gun they definitely should be lubricated.

I love having a BB option that won't eventually tear up my rifled barrels! These work great in my multi-pump, dual ammo, rifles. It's great to keep some in the reservoir for those times when I just don't feel like loading a pellet one at a time or when pellets may not be handy. Also great when shooting BB guns in small spaces to reduce ricochet.
Things I would have changed:They're lead balls. Not much to change there.
What others should know:As I've said, these are a great option for any gun that will shoot BBs, but has a rifled barrel. However, the price per shot is about the same as your average, inexpensive, pellet. Given that, you should consider your own shooting needs before you choose to use these exclusively. I find them to be convenient and I know some who use them as finishing shots when hunting with higher end mulit-pumps but, IMO, most of the time, a pellet is your better option.

Easy to load in round mag.for mod. 586 S&W. Can take four or five in finger tips and drop in mag. Shoot good, dont have to push in mag. Size is not consistent but good for plinking.
Things I would have changed:More consistent size.
What others should know:Wanted to try them in a single shot hard to load pellet rifle. May not be good due to inconsistent size. I will get more for my 586 S&W. Fun fun fun. Don't know how well the will work in a pellet rifle.

Bought these to basically play with vs standard pellets. Fairly accurate at 10 meters with my target pistol. Have not tried any with any of my rifles as of yet. Thank you for using a screw on lid Gamo!
Things I would have changed:Found several of the balls with flat spots on them. A little more Quality Assurance would help here.

Good amount for price
Things I would have changed:Add an outer shell to prevent distortion.
What others should know:These aren't perfectly round due lead being a soft material to begin with and not having plating. Just be aware that some airguns will shoot these, others won't.

The price is very reasonable.
Things I would have changed:These are very dirty. Your fingers will be black and will smell like sulfur, after handling them.
What others should know:I use 17 of these in the Double Shot shot shells, along with one .22 round ball, to make a duplex load. Still experimenting, but has promise.
