Marksman premium bb question?

"Some" of my Daisy airguns like Marksman bbs, they are known to run a little larger Diameter than other bb brands. This gives a better seal if the barrel bore runs large and "sometimes" improved accuracy.
The problem is Marksman bbs can be hard to find, the most common package is a little zip- loc bag of about 1000 bbs and also a bb speed loader and the bbs are gold in color.....tonight I found 2 jars of 2500 Marksman bbs on that popular auction site and I ordered them!.... Now that I am looking at the larger jars, I realized these Marksman bbs are silver in color, I want(hopeful) them to be the oversize bbs, anyone know if silver Marksman bbs run large to?

Update:
The bb shipment came in an there Not Marksman
It appears some sort of scam, both jars had factory seal broken and the Brass/gold color Marksman bbs poured out and replaced with a silver tone bb of unknown make....I have been in contact with the auction site as the seller was not respond to my inquiries, but I was awarded full refund and shipping label to return at no cost to me. I am happy now
Stay safe, and good shooting.

Yep! I was just looking at this on ebay, and realized the bbs are the wrong color. Your message here came up on my Google search. What a ripoff.

Try the Daisy Precision. They are on the large size. So are the Crosman Black Widows

I haven't tried the Daisy Precision, but the Hornady Black Diamond gives the best accuracy in my modified Buck which has a Daisy Model 499 barrel tube and a power spring shooting them at 375fps. The Hornady measures .173" and the Daisy Premium Silver measures .171". The tighter fit does help at least in that barrel.
