Just picked up a bottle of the blue daystate pellet lube, was curious if any one has tried it and with what results
Has any one used the daystate pellet lube?

I've been using it for a while on LW polygon barrels. No leading and does not seem to decrease accuracy. I put a paper towel in the bottom of a tin and dampen it with the lube. Not sloppy wet, just a bit damp. Put the pellets in and shake around a little and they are good to go.
Seemed to decrease accuracy a little in the FX Smoothtwist barrels I've tried. They seem to like the pellets dry or maybe a wax like Krytech.

Simply trying to find that last bit of accuracy, the x barrels lead up pretty quickly too, so if I could get an extra 200 to 300 pellets in between cleanings that would be a plus

How many shots about do you get between cleanings? I haven't shot more than 500 pellets so far but I do shoot a few GTO tin pellets occasionally. I'm thinking maybe they clean out some of the lead? I still have great accuracy so far. I have read that it will increase velocity in some guns so I guess that would have to be checked out.

I tried the pellet lube tonight with some really strange results. Ill hve to try it again tomorrow. All groups were shot at 72 yards, I had some incredible 16 shot groups and some really bad ones. Here is the best one which was 15 shots into a nickle sized hole with 1 flier, this was shot 2 minutes after shooting the worst group that was roughly 1.5".
Hoping it was just me having an off day lol

Interesting stuff. Thank you for the replies! Do you think incomplete or uneven lube distribution could have been a factor? Did your POI change? Just thinking out loud. I would love to hear about your continued exploration. I'm sure at some point I'll be experimenting with lubrication also. I'ts still early in the game for me at this point though I guess. I wonder what others have discovered? Bill
