Some time ago I've seen pictures of someone who'd been doing this. In general the pellets came out clean but some started to lose small chunks of lead from the heads and skirts. He said he wouldn't advise someone to do it."LNielsen"Jonnes, thank you but I was referring to pouring a tin of pellets into a sonic cleaner and using soft detergent to clean the pellets. Sorry for the confusing title Jonnes
Dartagnan, I have only cleaned one tin of pellets and I don't know that I will continue the process. I used dawn dish soap and after I had carefully washed them and put to dry on the paper towel I thought they appeared brighter to be honest. What soap are you using?"Dartagnan"When you guys clean your pellets using detergent do you notice the pellet getting darker in color while it sits on a cloth or paper towel waiting to dry. Or is it just me?
LOL, I thought you where talking about these things."LNielsen"Jonnes, thank you but I was referring to pouring a tin of pellets into a sonic cleaner and using soft detergent to clean the pellets. Sorry for the confusing title Jonnes
I test lubed pellets vs un-lubed in all my airguns. Most of the guns shoot the lubed as accurate as un-lubed but a few of the barrels I tested hated lubed pellets. The biggest benefit I found to lubing pellets is the barrel doesn't need to be cleaned nearly as often. The lube I have found worked best is Prolix, it dries like a wax so my fingers are pretty clean after a day of shooting."LNielsen"Thanks broekzwans, I was laying awake one night thinking about Airguns (hahaha) and wondered about using this process. I myself just shoot pellets straight from the tin. I don't sort clean or weigh and the gun seems to be very accurate. A guy has to be thinking of ways to improve or at least I do. Thanks very much for your input!
