Excellent Product !! Nice smooth lead BBs. Great for indoor plinking using a metal trap, without typical BB ricochet. At about 500 fps they flatten to about half their diameter. I sure wish these had been around when I was a kid. These heavier BBs seem to have more "punch" out of my shorter CO2 pistols.
Things I would have changed:NOT A THING
What others should know:As with heavier loads in firearms, more energy from the propellant is transferred to the projectile in shorter barrels because it's moving a little slower so there's more time to transfer that energy than faster moving lighter loads. Even though I haven't run the numbers, I "think" these are superior in knock down power out of my otherwise 485 and 520 fps pistols. The "thump" certainly seems more prominent than a "ding" as more energy is then transferred to the target rather than bouncing off of it.

What others should know:no need for wadcutters at close range , these things hit like a sledge hammer in my hatsan torpedo , they mushroom like crazy , even hit a coon at 25ft. almost turned him inside out , clean kill, rite between the eyes, now he looks out the other tunnel.

These lead BB's are very consistent, very accurate. But mainly they cut down n ricochets from my Daisy CO2 BB pistol. With steel BB's, this pistol's velocity is hot enough to have cracked two of my back porch windows with ricochets. Ricochets with the Excite BB's are very rare, but when they happen they are very low velocity and won't crack windows.
Things I would have changed:Produce more to lower the price!
What others should know:Try these out for accuracy in your BB guns, and compare accuracy with steel BB's. I have found accuracy in my BB pistols to be increased with the lead BB's.

These work well in all of my spring loaded magazines, and have fed flawlessly so far. Much better than any previous lead shot that I have tried. Not a ton of deformity, but I am using CO2 so the energy is pretty low- Bottomline is they dont bounce back and they load reliably.
What others should know:Good/safer BB choice if you may want to shoot at hard / Steele targets.

They work just as advertised and engineered.
Things I would have changed:There should be an Foot per Second mention on the effectiveness, and wish the tin had a divider in the can to keep half or a quarter of the Bbs from being touched when loading taking them out. The oils and dirt from fingers add to the oxidation of them.
What others should know:These offer an expansion quality not found in fragmentation bbs.

short to medium range accuracy is very good Excellent hit power Like they say, no (well very, very little) ricochet Work well in every air gun I have
Things I would have changed:Seem just right
What others should know:These do have more hitting power at short and medium ranges. They do not ricochet though they have a very slight bounce and in certain cases depending on what you shoot at they could ricochet based on the properties of what you shoot at. Like do not shoot a rubber tire and expect no ricochet. UnCommon Sense, Rational thought things like that.

I liked that at the time I bought the Springfield 1911, they gave them away. Can't beat that!
What others should know:Good bbs, l don't see where they have any less ricochet though.

I have been using these low ricochet, metal jacketed, lead BBs for years now and highly recommend them for shooting steel. That is their prime use. They work well in my Tanfoglio Witness 1911 blowback, Makarov non-blowback, and Colt SIngle Action Army. Accuracy is as good as any steel BB but bounce back is greatly diminished (not eliminated). They generally bounce back a few feet at low speed, low energy when shot at steel targets. The cost is more than steel BBs, but still miniscule compared to firearm ammunition. I use these on steel targets in my basement with great success, and a whole lot of fun! So much cheaper and more convenient than driving to a range, paying range fees, buying boxes of 9mm ammo, etc.
Things I would have changed:Nothing
What others should know:I have also tried the newer frangible Dust Devil BBs, but prefer these lead Smart Shot BBs. The Dust Devils do work as advertised, but caused jams in my Tanfoglio Witness 1911. The Dust Devils are also messier as they leave a fine spray of metal dust all over my basement.
