Lubrication for slug shooting.

[zer0dev]

On a recommendation from @Michael I've been using gunzilla and been very happy. Usual process, roll around in an empty pellet tin. I usually lube them the night before a match, so they're not "wet" when I shoot them, but definitely damp. The gunzilla doesn't seem to dry out completely.

i’ve been using Perfluoropolyether(PFPE).
it’s similar to silicone and can be mixed with silicone to get a preferred viscosity. it’s ultra-deep vacuum lube. it cannot be ignited

Right, PFPE is a next gen.

What is your preferred lubrication?

I recently acquired a texan .257 and while the AVS slugs I ordered for it that shoot incredibly well are clean I still decided to run them through my ultrasonic cleaner and then lube them with a coating of ballistol.

With that said I shot 130 slugs I cleaned and lubed myself before diminished accuracy occured :O


The next day, I shot straight out of the box AVS , 70 shots before I noticed the accuracy diminish.

So it seems there is a benefit here, I have been cleaning and lubing my 44.75 pellets I shoot from my paradigm and I barely have to clean it.

Which ultra sonic cleaner do you use?

DK Sonic dual function, from amazon

I use an empty Cool Whip container for the water and Dawn dish detergent and a kitchen strainer that the handle broke off of to hold the pellets for rinsing.

It is a top lube.
