    Do the H+N Smartshots have less ricochets? I too am new to BB and find they do ricochet , quite a bit, I am using Umarex steel, no jamming issues yet

    Dust Devils work reasonably well at short range in my revolvers as already stated. Not had a lot of luck with them in magazine guns. I tend to use Umarex steel BB in those and reuse them many times . H&N copper coated are quite good but expensive. The Gamo 4.4mm plain lead balls work well in some guns , but not in others. worth trying?

    Don't take for granted that the diameter on the containers is actually correct. I have done an extensive measuring test of bb's and some makes can be as low as 4.1 mm in diameter. Without mentioning names there are a couple of excellent types that are very consistent in diameter. The funny thing is that some air pistols actually prefer the smaller ones, while others jam. Always good to have a vernier to see what works for you.
