BB Quality and how it can Affect a Gun

Today I ordered my first rifle from Airsoft Megastore, and after the order was completed the site recommended a couple of videos on BB quality and how low-quality BBs can damage your internals.

From these videos I've learned that seamless BBs can be misleading in their construction, and that many retail store brands are practically polished seamed BBs. Obviously, this can increase the chances of breaking and screwing up your gun. I bought an AGM VSR10, and at the moment I have three quarters of a 5k box of Crosman .20s. After testing one with a pair of pliers, the BBs are seamed but polished. Should I be worried about the BBs breaking inside of the gun because of their quality, or does the bolt action prevent this from happening or lower the chances of BB breakage? Should I look into investing in high quality ammunition before I use a single Crosman, or can I spare some time before I order new ones?

300 yards?

The only way I got that was with a .88g steel bb on the Crimebuster, running at a little over 10J (also on a Tanaka with ER-hop and LRB, but at about 7J). After about 150 yards/130m the bb (any weight) loses stability and you have issues with it just wobbling randomly and/or falling out of the sky.
