No worries Pat , text me anytime . That old target weighs about 2-300 lbs ...Its filled with old shredded rubber and blue jeans and all kinds of stuff ...It'll stop a 22 rimfire no sweat . Backing on it is a piece of rubber conveyor belt that is about inch and a half thick .
When I first moved to this house there weren't many neighbors and I shot my bow and crossbow and 22lr a lot and wanted a target that would stop all 3 and made that .

Hey Joe,
Just as an experiment, try one again but push it through with a pushrod instead of shooting it. When I use them, I'll stack up 2-3 and then push them back and forth a few times. They come out showing mucho junko. The ones I use are also name brand (RWS?) and come in a plastic case. they're about 2/3 the length of the ones you had.
Great video! I can tell that you read all the directions on the B.S. meter! lol

Yeah I honestly think they just don't work on my rifles because of the super low power . I remember trying them.in my 22 Cricket and got different results . I think the little 6 ft lb type guns just don't create enough power to seal it right .
I had some Beeman brand ones also , they seemed a little denser .
Yep the BS meter worked like a Charm. Lol...It was a fun video to make

I was told by an "old" airgunner around home, (I'm 57 and he's in his late 30's) with more recent experience with PCPs to put a drop of cleaner on the front of 2 pellet cleaning pads and shoot them and wait a minute and then shoot a dry one. I'm somewhat sceptical about the idea and I think I'll just stick with my nice cleaning kit unless I see lots of other people confirm that. I would think the cleaner would be at risk of dieseling and you would be shooting a unique tracer round down range.

I honestly just use two bore snakes . One with some Hoppes on it , the other dry . Takes all of 30 seconds and I know its clean .
I'll put a drop or two of oil down the barrel every month or so and pull the dry snake thru just to give it a trace of rust protection.
Everybody has their own cleaning tips and techniques, for me on my guns the cleaning pellets do little or nothing . But your milage may vary

Joe, thanks for the video, it confirmed my suspicions, bull$hit!. LOL
I use a piece of 50# monofilament with cotton a patch to clean my 48.

Another great video Joe. I've never even considered them I like my Patches and pull through string. Works like a charm every time. Oh, I think Bella would make a good bird dog. Not gun shy at all.

our dogs trust us and when we make the noise they are not upset
BUT
when the noise is from else where look out
i had hunting dogs that were tickled when i shot the shotgun and they got to go fetch
but were scared as all hell on the forth of July and upset during thunder storms

One of my range critters has the same attitude toward booming sounds. She isn't too bad about thunder and I can shoot my springers for hours on end and she only gets bored and demands I interrupt my shooting with games of fetch. OTOH, she hightails it for the house with the first hint of fireworks (or gunshots - my town is getting rougher by the week) going off.
As for the felt cleaning pellets, I have used 'em although now I rely on bore snakes in .177 and .22 for my guns. On the rare occasions I do use the felt pellets I generally put a drop of airgun oil on the end of the pellet that goes into the breech first and then load a lead pellet directly behind the felt before firing. My experience is that a felt pellet alone, or two loaded together, does not provide enough back pressure to the air chamber to prevent the piston from slamming into the air port. Almost a dry-fire situation without a lead pellet in place. Using the felt pellet is almost like using a kitchen towel to do a quick wipe-up of a spill on the floor - gets the worst mess out of the way but not a thorough cleaning by any means.

I got some VFG felt cleaning pellets and a special jag that fits on a cleaning rod and screws into the pellets, swelling them to closely fit the bore (in my case a .22LR KIDD barrel) and used them just like I would patches. They work like a charm and don't leave ANY lint/strings anywhere. Found them and the jag at Champions. I only use them on .22LR barrels, but they might work great on airgun barrels in .22 also. I don't have any .22 airguns.
