Your muzzle velocities sound about right for Gamo lead ball.
My tests were done with Umarex steel bb which are a nominal 5 grains, hence the higher velocity.
Gamo are not accurate at all in my pistol, in fact they are designed for guns with rifled barrels. The sizing of the Gamo bb are not very consistent in my experience so I do not use them. Gamo rlb are nominal .177 size, whereas steel bb are .175 .
Most co2 powered bb guns are designed for steel bb so it is best to stick with them. Caveat....... some pistols will prefer lead bb's so try them by all means.

it`s taken me 6 years to get so far...
