Buying F size lead shot instead of Gamo 22 lead balls

[45flint]

I read that Gamo 22 round balls are really .215, thus maybe explaining why they roll out the barrel of my Haenel 22 pistol. Did some research and found F shot is 22 cal. You can buy it by the bag.

Anyone ever try this, before I order 8 lbs of shot that could be a bust? Calculates out to 3500 rounds! Lol

That doesn't look very round - is there a roundness tolerance difference between lead balls & shot?

If it does work out, I'll go in for a thousand with you if it's viable postwise.

You do realize the postage will be about $66 if they use a USPS fixed rate box
They say the shot is swaged and perfectly round.

It's $13 for me I live in USA.

Looks like they are perfectly round but coated with nickel, probably doesn't help the rifling?
