    its also quite a good idea to wash out your pellet tin, otherwise your putting your nice shiny pellets back in the dirty tin they came from!

  • @oldstudbuck3583
    @oldstudbuck3583 4 года назад +5

    Thanks for taking the time to make the video. I wish pellet manufactures would make an inexpensive swaging mold to fix damaged pellets. Can’t imagine the criticism I opened myself too but that’s the chance one takes on RUclips.

    I think for cleaning, moving the pellets to the drainer and then dipping the drainer in soap water many times and then giving the pellets some time under the tap water should keep the damage in minimal.
    Every move and every touch that the pellets have with each other wears them.
    I'd also strongly recommend plastic drainer.

    If you want to lube the pellets, put them into an oversized plastic container and spray or drip the lube over them. Then SLOWLY tumble them about to get an even coverage on each pellet. I use a hexagonal sided plastic drum, which would hold 1000 pellets to lube 500, the tumbling action evenly covers every part and causes no damage to head or skirt. Great vids, this is NOT a knockdown, (love your films), just a tip from experience. From an NSRA instructor.

    The first time I used that pellet lube I dropped it directly onto the pellets, as per the instructions. Got a shock though when one of them "dieseled", obviously with a small drop of lube in the skirt. Now, I smear the lube around the inside of the empty pellet tin before putting the pellets back in.

    @summoningdark216 6 лет назад +3

    My method for what its worth: Tip around 100 at a time into small plastic bowl. Add HOT water, plus a shot of hand-wash soap (not washing up liquid, too harsh). Roll slowly for 5 minutes. Rinse twice with COLD water. Tip onto clean cotton cloth. Same process for every 100 or so. Place cloth on radiator for several hours, roll occasionally. Tip 100 or so off cloth into small clean plastic bag. Add 4 drops Napier pellet lube. Roll slowly in bag by hand for 5 minutes. Put in clean tin ready for use. Repeat. Go out and use! Oh, and don't buy cheap pellets!

    You can also use WD40 after washing and drying the pellets. Much cheaper. Don't bath the pellets in WD40 just a light spray and it will go smooth through the barrel.

      I agree if nothing else it's definitely going to far for a pellet gun lol. Even if it somehow does improve it it couldn't be much. Also like you said pellets are fragile made of soft lead so the more you rattle them around the more it will damage them and that definitely will decrease accuracy.

    • @shaneweightman
      @shaneweightman 4 года назад +3

      my2centz I would decide if they needed cleaning after looking at the inside of the tin after taking the pellets out , and that had a shiny mirror finish ,, wouldn’t be clean inside the tin if the pellets were shit up ,, and also if you look at the video on RUclips with a visit to the factory that makes jsb and other pellets , you will see they wash and carefully inspect the pellets with magnifying glasses before they are packed in the tins ,,, they show you the complete process from raw led to the finished pellets,, 2 large rooms full of woman hand sorting all pellets , interesting,, look it up ,, no need to wash your pellets ,, not quality brands at least. , Shane uk 🇬🇧

    had my R10 for 4 years, never cleaned a pellet, never cleaned the gun and if anything, it's more accurate now than it ever was. In a vice it puts pellets on a brass drawing pin at 50 yards with ease every time. .177 that is, using Bisley Magnums. Unfortunately I'm not that accurate haha

    Also, I'm rather concerned about shaking the pellets around so vigorously in the jug and again in the strainer. Happy & safe shooting.

    • @slipveste4153
      @slipveste4153 Год назад

      Too much lub I guess , personally when I lub my pellets I don’t pour the oil directly on the pellets but only a few on a towel and then I gently roll my pellets in. A very thin coat will be enough , and could also prevents corrosion if you store them
      by pouring the oil directly on the pellets , some of the oil will stay inside some pellet skirts and it could results a erratic dieseling effect..

    A lot of doubters in the comments. It’s gonna sounds crazy but rattling around some of the cheaper pellets can improve them. If there is a lot of flashing or parting lines, etc. You can knock that stuff down and knock it loose by rattling them around a bit. Probably not great for a tin of JSB but Sometimes makes the cheap stuff shoot better.

      I found this on an airgun sight. ... Avoid WD-40 Okay, them’s fightin’ words! Everybody likes WD-40 for the shine it puts on blued metal and for its pleasant aroma. Yes, that’s all true, but if you allow it to dry on things, it leaves a gummy film that can take weeks of hard work to remove. It has no place in airgunning.

    Having done a heap of lubing experiments, with Napier, wd40, pledge, etc,
    for use in my tuned fac 97, I've found the best by a mile is Wurth Silicone spray, straight from the can directly onto the pellets,
    also washing with above method did absolutely nothing to aid accuracy, other than the satisfaction of seeing the tiny particles.
    Napier slowed pellets down, pledge did the same with added inconsistency with using the above washing method.
    silicone beat the lot, for a fraction of the price, and gained 12 fps. Shot variation is 2 to 3 fps.
    works for me.

      Fly adventure river freak the best is just to leave the pellets alone and don’t ever wash them, use it straight away from the box and you will enjoy. Don’t waste time and energy in doing all this sort it washing. I’m using JSB 18.3 grain heavy. And I don’t have any problem with my hunting, each and every pellet is on the bullseye. Therefore my friends I would really love to tell you that please don’t waste your time in washing your pellets. Just use it from the box. Before the pellets are packed in the box they are washed and lubed and packed in the box. Hope you enjoy shooting and I will you my friend all the best.
      God bless you and enjoy your hunting.

    a paintbrush would have been a more effective tool for applicating the lube.
