tx200hc 0 Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 does cleaning your pellets and putting lube on them work and give you tighter groups or is it just a mythe??? Quote Link to post
Ron Weasley 83 Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 Haha, good question! I'm not voting, because I can't say for a fact that it works, but it's something that I always do, and always have done. The amount of swarf that gets left behind in the water when I wash my pellets is enough to convince me to keep doing it. I'd be interested to hear what others think though- and what lubes you use. Personally, for my precharged guns, I use 2 or 3 drops of 3in1 type oil per tin, and for my springer, a light spray of wax based furniture polish. Quote Link to post

Nathan_R 10 Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 Using lube may make a small difference in accuracy but compared to other variables such as wind, range, and human error I'm sure it's negligible. If it gives you more confidence in your equipment though then it can only be a good thing. Quote Link to post

Sweeney-Todd 208 Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 Yep....I do. Just makes me feel better. If you weigh and grade your pellet's your more likely to notice a difference in groups, especialy from a tuned rifle, over longer distances. Bill. Quote Link to post
