Yes a steel BB can harm the rifling. Lead BBs are used in such rifles.

Which kind of plastic BB are you referring to? The common 6mm(airsoft) version found online won't even fit the breach of a .22(5.5mm) air rifle.

4.5mm plastic BBs are available abroad which'll fit .177 ARs. 5.5 mm balls are available too but they're not made for sports but plastic industry.

Better buy an airsoft rifle, which is made for shooting plastic bb
