These appear to be good BBs and they shoot well with both the rifle and pistol I use. In addition, the bottom bracket spindle is not contaminated by corrosion due to the copper plating. As for the price. Much more expensive than standard 1500 or 6000 BB packs as it's twice the price of 6000 galvanized ones. way to do it. PS, they didn't arrive in the plastic tin pictured on the description page, but in a non-sealable bag.
