does anyone lube their pellets?

[Guest]

Just wondering what other people have to say about this topic?

Yes, I have lubed mine for a year or so but cannot tell you if it creates any more or less accuracy. I read that it helps keep some lubricant in the barrel to ward off any bad effects of moisture from the guns storage time. Not much help on that question i guess.

I wash mine first, then lube.

I tried lubing as a experiment along with wax and saw no improvement in accuracy with any of my pcp's or springers, so it's not something I would do anymore.

Hi grobe 1458. How is your accuracy without lube? Hows your grouping?

 

[grobe1458]

below some samples, I don't have any of my rainstorm 3d, theoben rapid, fx400 or airwolf but I can assure you they are equally accurate.
once I zero my rifles for 20 yards, I'll shoot groups out from 10 to80+ yards, after that it's all about one shot accuracy.

I shoot FT and wash my crossmans then lube with FP-10. JSBs just lube. probably 90 % of FT shooters, that I have spoken to, lube (PCP). this tells me something. springers I don't know.

Yes.

I wash the pellets to get rid of the small lead flecks and the ... well not sure what it is they come coated with. I lube to stop the lead oxidising afterwards.

Does it work? Is it necessary? Don't know, I feel better doing it though!

 

[linsfreak]

Totally agree Zyphyr.

I've done some testing with washing, not washing, different lubes, no lube, just lube and found with the jsb's just lubing gives me the best accuracy.
