Page 2 of 10 - Daisy Match Grade Avanti Precision .177 (4.5mm) Cal Reviews

These BBs are grate , you would think that all BBs would be the same size but not so ! Just so happens that these are the perfect size for my old 1907 quackenbush , a model 700 Benjamin and my iron windmill replica

Took about 3 months to get them after I ordered

These BBs work well in all my old and some new BB GUNS

These are certainly well made. Size is larger than the copper Daisys you had when you were a kid.

Better quality control in sizing.

These continulously jam in my Sig P365 Air. Probably one out of 20 will jam, which is not something that happened with the sample BBs that came with the gun. There's no way to know what brand they are. I've also shot many 45 year old Daisy BBs (which I kept for some reason) and had no problems, but they aren't smooth like the steel . Bore is aparently a little too tight for the Avanti's. Just ordered the Hornady Black, we'll see how that goes.

Excellent and very nice product--Thanks---

Very consistent, they all look like perfect shiny spheres to the naked eye. They all weigh in at 5.49-5.52 grains. Groups are tighter in my Powerline 5170 and Powerline 415 than with either Daisy zinc-coated and Hornady Black Diamond (which are both good quality BBs). Velocity is the same or slightly higher, even though these are heavier than the other BBs mentioned by about 0.2 grains.

Nothing

These are probably the best BBs money can buy. They are worth the extra money if you value accuracy.

Very accurate a lot better than any of the other BB's I've tried you'll think you have a new gun

Can't think of any

Way more accurate

Excellent product,

They function flawlessly in all my air guns. My Umarex mp40 would jam with copper bbs but operates perfectly with the Daisy Match Grade.

Nothing.

I tested these against regular bulk pack BBs with a Daisy model 74 at 10 yards. The bulk BBs produced a 3 inch pattern and the match grade reduced this to about a 2 inch pattern.

nothing

nope

the quality

nothing

I was surprised that the Hornady bbs grouped better in both of my glock 19 s

These are the largest BB's that I've found so far. Having a .177 bore and a 0.171 BB is unacceptable so I set about trying to find the tightest fitting BB's a could find. Ideal to me would be 0.176 or 0.1765. The BB's I had decades ago in the 80's were 0.175 and fit tighter to the bore and were more accurate than today's BB's. These Daisy Avanti Match Grade avg'd 0.1739 (96.53% of total bore cross section area) Black Diamond's - 0.1732 (95.75%) Daisy Precision 2400 ct - 0.1731 ((95.64%) Daisy Precision(350 ct tube) - 0.1722) (94.64%) ( I thought they'd be the same but they were smaller in my sample) H&N Smart Shot lead - 0.1714 (93.77%) Crosman Copperhead - 0.1710 (93.33%) The Avanti's are also without any visible imperfections which is a major problem with the Crosman's more than any others. Between Crosman cheapening their pump guns and now their low quality BB's what in the heck are they thinking!? Thank you Daisy for making great BB's and thank you Pyramid for selling them.

Even larger - 0.175 or 0.1755 or possibly even 0.176 would still provide enough clearance and tolerance so that the BB's don't get lodged in the barrel.

BB's closer to the actual bore size provide more accuracy and velocity and energy.

If anyone knows any that are larger than the Avanti's then let me know. Thanks.
