BBs or Pellets: Which Ammunition Should You Choose?

Depending on the model, Daisy air rifles can shoot steel BBs, lead pellets, or in some cases both. Choosing the right ammunition depends on how you plan to use your airgun.

Steel BBs are ideal for recreational shooting and plinking. They're affordable, easy to load and perfect for informal target practice.

Pellets, on the other hand, generally provide greater accuracy thanks to their aerodynamic shape, making them the preferred option for precision target shooting with compatible rifles.
