Is it acceptable to use actual .177 BB ammo in your shot shells? I am curious due to the fact that it is so much cheaper than a 25lb bag of shot.

You can get 25lbs of bb's cheaper than 25lbs of lead?? I just did some quick research and found that for about 10 dollars I can get a 6000 round bottle of bb's, by my math that's a little over 5 lbs... so 50 dollars for 25lbs of bb's?
Well if somehow you have a line on some cheap bb's, I would say you could try it, but use load data for STEEL shot only! For the record a .177 bb is really super close to BB size shot (.180)... derp, go figure.

Math escapes me sometimes. I guess what started the thought was seeing a bottle on a shelf a china mart for like 3 bucks. But, after considering the cost per pound I was being short sighted. Sometimes i fail to look at the big picture, thank you YZ for the reply and for helping me to see the big picture.
