Salad spinner

[vinny]

So I’ve been trying washed&lubed vs str8outta the tin and I do have to admit lubed actually group better “for me” at least but after washing all the crap off the new tins of pellets drying was a pain in the arse well wife decided to thro away the old and never used salad spinner lol. Just wash the pellets and a few rotations in there and they are 100% dry and ready to lube eh why not lubed might not be for every one or every gun but my kral .25 loves em. Just throwing it out there makes the process easier and much faster

great idea! 

sure is cheaper than replacing a gas dryer because the pellets ruined the drum. 

also cheaper than a new dishwasher. how was i supposed to know they'd clog up the drain? 

the oven was a disaster too! they shouldn't make the grates so large, the pellets fall right through and melt on the bottom! 

the stove top? ruined a perfectly good cast iron skillet that way. well not really ruined, but wife says it's "contaminated' and she won't cook with again.

they don't make appliances like the used to, did i mention not to put them in the furnace?!

Do people really have and use salad spinners?

 

[vinny]

Haha people have them but they don’t use them , that’s why she was th rowing it away lol. Works for me tho

 

[vinny]

Kaeokini just tell her it’s broke and obsolete lol It really does work great removes every lil bit of water even from the inside of the pellet,

Hey now...!!! I actually use my mini salad spinner for salads and veggies...!!! No smart ass comments...!!!

Someone told me use white gas(camping fuel) and a fine metal colander outside, the white gas evaporates quickly leaving the lead dry...

Haven't tried it yet myself...

Lol fuel is expensive. Only takes a second or two to spin them totally dry

Have not washed yet but have lubed. Best so far has been WD40 silicone. Better groups and most likely the pellet sliding easier a bit more speed. OK maybe washing and drying next.

cpl different kinds. I find the fp10 works great

.. what is a 'salad spinner' ? .. tossed a lot of salad , and spun a few spinners - but i felt lot younger back then .. had nothing to do with pellets , or food , tho... yall are pretty resourceful.. i used the air compressor as shifting pellets from tin to tin , and a few drops of napier pellet lube (it's expensive because it works well in quality piston rifles - not only around the 12 ftlb output, but even at 30 ftlbs (.25 custom uk patriot) ... - paul. .... - ps: blonde salad lightly spun :: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ox4RS_qOBXY

Yes, we just got a new one as the old gave up the spinning ghost. Gotta wash the lettuce as lots of bad stuff in it if you don't.
