Lubing Pellets

[MikeP.]

I use dish soap to cut through the grease. With a fan pointed at them I lay them out to dry .
And finally a light coat of silicone spray. As a bonus the silicone spray gives me a chronographed
10-fps increase.

I recently tried this. Washed with simple green and rinsed with water. After drying took half and left clean, and dry. Half sprayed with lock-ease graphite lube, and allowed to dry. Shot all 3 versions, based on group size at the same 10m distance with the same rifle both washing alone. And washing with lube shot worse then untouched from the new tin. I am not saying I won't try it again at some point, but it would be with a different pellet/rifle combo. I may try a different lube on the remainder of the only washed pellets as I have nothing to lose there.

The only thing I’ve found lubing pellets to do is reduce fouling.

I use the white lightning dry chain lube but only seems to make a difference at 100 yards plus
