Umarex Steel BB Ball Bearings (.177 Cal, 1500 BBs)
UMASTEELBB
Engineered by Umarex in Germany, these .177 cal steel ball bearings deliver dependable performance for any airgun specifically designed to use steel BBs. Each tub contains roughly 1,500 impeccably polished BBs, offering excellent feeding reliability and minimal risk of jams. Made from hardened steel, these BBs remain effective even at lower velocities, making them ideal for casual target shooting or practice sessions.
Whether you're using a semi-auto air pistol or pistol-repeating air rifle, these BBs feed cleanly and consistently—especially when rapid fire is involved. Plus, at this price point, they’re one of the most cost-efficient ways to stock up on training ammunition while maintaining airgun longevity.
