steve_b_wales Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 I've read a few articles that suggest that adding lube to pellets increases their accuracy and power! I will be using a S410 Xtra FAC in .22 caliber. Has anyone used this lube, and, if so, did they find it any good. Cheers Steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buster321c Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 Best if you don`t `Add a drop` . Just wash the pellets out with warm water and washing up luquid a light swill , and pat em dry on a tea towel , leave over night to dry . Next day ( well i do ) put em into a plastics bag with 3 drops in it and roll em around ensuring a good covering of em all . Leave em out to dry over night , and put the cleaned , lubed pellets in a clean tin , hey presto , lubed pellets . I find em better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to lube bullet heads the same way when I used to make my own .38 caliber ones. Steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pabs Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 (edited) I've tried lubed pellets and found no benefit, certainly no fps benefit. Some say it improves accuracy, but again, I did not find this to be the case. Edited October 7, 2010 by pabs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milo2005 Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 very minimal difference accuracy and power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_R Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 Made no difference to me in either of my sub 12 guns. I have not tried it now I have a FAC air rifle, but as I am happy enough with it as is I'll not be rushing to try any lube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeinVA Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 Plus if you get over zealous with the petrol based lube you may have dieseling :look: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad1 Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 i personally dont want to risk the chance of your nicely oiled pellets collecting dust or swarf now they are tacky rather than keeping them clean and dry. i think it could be more bother than its worth :look: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elm0 Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 Always wash my pellets takes no time to do ,Don't over oil is the key 1 or 2 drops is plenty and a clean tin and not hanging about in a dirty jacket pocket keeps em **** free ,everyone has there own opinion on this ,but personally i like this system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougy Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 (edited) save your money. wash with hot soapy water, rinse ,strain then wash with a concentrated car wash n wax drain dry and use, you can feel the lube on the pellets, and a slight increase in velocity. But the main thing is you will be happy !! Edited October 9, 2010 by Dougy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
