pelletgage

My assumption is it depends upon what the use of the pellets are for.

Competitive activities like field target or bench rest different shooters will have their rituals. They will even discuss different lubes or no lube testing .

Hunters maybe out of the tin or just cursory inspection or some variety of steps.

Backyard fun shooters are probably closer to straight out of the tin.

If this thread fails to get many responses and you are looking to compete retry the question in that subforum
