Newbie question Should I in theory be able to select 10 BBs from the tin and 'roll' them down the barrel before loading into the mag to make sure they have the clearance or is the fit tighter than that in general? You could use a set of calipers and size them for the normal 6mm AS plastic bbs and then try them against the steel 6mm, like a 'go - no go' type of gauge.

I might get some with a gauge, have seen they come in handy quite often

Looking at google and YouTube it looks like it’s aluminium .30g we should try but everyone seems sold out of the proper AS ones.

That's what I've gone for to test with, just worried that there won't be much in the way of QC for catapult ammo!

Don't you fret about that my CO 2 replica loving little friend....... How about this Shaun.................... 'The Replica Airgun Forum (incorporating imitation plastic ball firing guns and cap guns and RIF's of any kind)'It wouldn't bother me. It would cover everything then. I own RIF's.
