When freshly cut, lead oxidizes quickly, forming a dull gray coating, formerly thought to be lead suboxide, Pb2O, but now recognized as a mixture of lead and lead monoxide, PbO, which protects the metal from further corrosion.
Baloney will always be.,just remember it doesn't keep forever, so use it.... hoarders are created not born....Don't Bogart those pellets my friend ,save a little for me..
I just took inventory of my stash, 72 tns of 4 ca,ibers. I feel like I'm getting low. I have been shooting crosmans to conserve my good pellets, and they seem to be available everywhere.
