⚠️LEAVE YOUR BOLT BACK during this process. Actually loading ball will score it, and it won't work a 2nd time on a real shot. Use only love tap with a rod⚠️

NOTE: Gamo ball ammo comes HEAVILY SATURATED in graphite. Please do not attack me thinking I'm destroying mother nature with lead dust - and every life form in the universe.
IT IS ONLY GRAPHITE! It preserves the lead shape. Please feel free to dump out tin on a paper towel and remove excess graphite.
It is NOT lead dust.
⚠️WARNING: Some 880s have a tighter breech than others. If your 880 is on the wider side, you could see a Gamo ball roll down your barrel every 3 out of 4 attemps. So on a wide breech it could take 60 attemps to get 12 rifle-locking balls. Other Daisy pump guns don't do that; I know because I have 2 880s like that.⚠️
If you do hit an issue like that after purchasing Gamo ball ammo, all is not lost.
Follow these tips:
▶️A loose ball in your barrel takes about SIX SECONDS to roll down from the minimum downwards angle that causes roll. I say this tongue in cheek, but you will have to be grease lightening shooting down from a STANDING position!
▶️A kneeling, FAST, shot at 5 to 7 yards, on a can size target, should be effective. Laying out on the ground would be best!
▶️Stay at 5 pumps for smoother projectile trip. On further soup can testing, loose ball ammo can still punch through it. It comes down to HOW SMALL is the ball.
▶️You can use all undersized balls if you keep barrel straight or elevated.
Even if it takes 80 attempts to get 10 rifle-locking balls, they will come through in the field - including a well-aimed standing shot. The loose ammo can be used in another Daisy pump for fun plinking.
