A good quality poultry pellet.
Decent quality.
If you check their web page you will see that they sell Beeman, Benjamin, Remington and Crosman. All of these are good air rifles.
In general, BB guns are smoothbore, and the barrel is larger than the steel BB. Pellets guns are rifled, and fire a lead pellet that is a squeeze fit to the bore. This is MUCH more accurate than a BB. GOOD pellet guns are more accurate than firearms, within their usable range. I have one pellet rifle that will put pellet after pellet into the same hole in the target at 10 meters.
750 fps./BB; 665 fps./pellet The name Power-line may be a little misleading. Modern Pellet rifles are capable of firing a pellet at 1000+ fps. But this is a combination BB and Pellet gun and as far as BB rifles goes 750 fps is a good speed for a BB. This is about as fast as they can possibly go. I own 2 of these and find them very entertaining to shoot for fun.
If the Owners instructions say BB's or Pellets can be used it would be OK. But IF the Owners manual says Pellets. Then NEVER use BB's in a pellet gun. Oh they will work. But you will ruin the rifling in the pellet gun or rifle. Here is why. Good pellet guns have rifling in the barrel. (Little groves) that make the pellet spin as it is fired. Pellets have a soft skirt on the end that catches the air and conforms to these groves. This gives the pellet a spinning effect and adds to accuracy of the pellet. BB guns have a smooth bore barrel ( Like a straw) the BB is hard and tumbles down the barrel and is not as accurate as pellets. If a BB is used in the Pellet barrel it slowly destroys the grooves in the rifled barrel. It also leaves residue from the copper in the barrel. I've seen several good air rifles that have been ruined by the owner forcing it to shoot BB. It's a poor idea to do this to a good air gun.
I have found the quality of Remington arms to be very good quality.I own three Remington rifles myself.
I shoot the pests at my house w/ pellet guns, so no one know. But good guns for rodents/ gophers are 22 rifles, and small caliber guns. I advise pellet guns because they aren't loud but can kill rodents easily.
Crosman owns Benjamin air rifles. they offer a service to locate repair shops the repair older Benjamin rifles See the link below
It's designed as a pellet rifle. Forcing it to fire BBs will ruin the rifling in the barrel. Rendering it much less accurate, It's a good way to ruin a pellet rifle.
