squab 2,875 Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 used to find them a bit light when i was youngster ball bearings were a lot better lol,you want get a mould for making your own lead ones,iv seen a few on e bay in the past Quote Link to post Share on other sites
the big chief 3,099 Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 Marbles are ok to use but longer shots there too light try 9 1/2mm or 10mm steel balls you can buy a box of 3000 for £50 and for that price you get 2000 more than if you used marbles for the same price its a no brainer really 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ruggers13 268 Posted June 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 Thanks for the advice just I've been trying different things Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hixxy1979 18 Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 Marbles are out of the question with the price of steel I pay about 3.50 for 100 10mm which obviously are smaller but weigh twice as much ish. Also even though not to likely they can shatter and I for one don't want to be picking glass out of me dinner! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Blackbriar 8,568 Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 I get 50 marbles for a quid ! Cheap, easy to get hold of and much less suspicious to be seen with ! Never, ever had one break either. On the down side, range is a lot less than BB's, but you can't have everything.................... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
