Man woke up today and thought, how can I waste a lot of time today and it have literally zero effect on anything. Great comedy relief videos like this are. 😃
I washed and lubed and also sorted by weight and size. I don't do it anymore as I found no accuracy improvements compared to straight out of the just opened tin.
The idea is OK - reasonable and understandable. However, there is a catch: by pouring pellets the way you do and then agitating them in that pot, there is a high probability of damaging the pellets, first of all deforming their skirts.
I agree that I might treat my pellets a little more delicately, but when he zooms into the finished product at 7:55, his pellets look OK.
@@josh3866 Let alone him grabbing them instead of gently pouring them from that cloth.
I agree too, I use a plastic container, and gently roll the pellets around in dishwashing liquid, then again slowly and gently pour and rinse off these washed pellets into a plastic sieve , the onto paper towel, and set aside to dry etc.
I was amazed at the chips of lead and debris that is left behind in the plastic washing bottle/container.
@@regsparkes6507 Yeah. But the amount of "debris" is much lower compared to different no-name pellets made in Turkey or China. A few years ago, I bought a can of .177s at the local flea market (I live in Serbia), which were so dirty - literary soaking with dark gray lead powder - so that they made my hands looking as if I just came from a coal mine. It took me half an hour to scrub that dirt from the palms and fingers of my hands, using the combination of a dissolvent and a detergent in the process.
@@DrAgan_tortojed Then again as my hands can't take the harsh 'grease cutting' agents in those soaps, I have to wear rubber gloves, I am also aware of possible toxins in those lead pellets, so, I have to use protective gloves.
Be careful my friend.
I was massaging my bag as instructed and i can confirm a nice even coat. The toilet, bath, towel rail.. the lot nicely coated =)
🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤦🏽♂️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🙌🏽
Sounds like you may have been massaging the barrel as well.
Me and my brother used to do this when we were kids,20years ago now. Cool to see this is a real thing today still 👍
I like to put the pellets submerged in soapy water, drain this water off and replace it with warm water for the first rinse, then into a colander and finish rinsing off the soap, finally a light coating of oil, my tin is covered inside with felt to stop them being damaged and stopping them rattling in your pocket.
My OCD was kicking in very bad, thinking that those holes in that strainer was allowing a few of those pellets to fall through😂😂😂👍
🤣😂 not 1 went through 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Handy to know that buddy.Good video.I have washed pellets before but never lubed them.Thanks again👍🏻
Use a small silicone soray used to maintain guns after washing the pellets out them standing and spray them dont overdo it afterwards i use a small air compressor i have to just blow some off and place them back at the tin each time you shoot you also maintain your barrel with that silicone spray it just needs a littke bit also your method with the bag is a really good one im gona lube some pellets that way today
This has to be a good idea, after a shoot my hands are filthy with muck from the pellets. Apart from the fact you are making your gun dirty each time you handle it, it can't be a good idea to put the same muck through the gun. Definitely washing and lubing my pellets from now on. Good video.
Great video. I had to laugh when you said leave them overnight.....I have CATS... i would never find them.
Been lubing my 22 and 25 pellets for a while now. Got myself the new Avenge x in 25 and shot for a while before changing it over to 1.77.
20 yards pellets were all over the place. Chased my tail for a month on barrel bands/sniffers, adjustable scope rings, 2 different scopes, multiple cleanings, etc etc. was lazy and grabbed a new tin of 177’s .. i was stacking pellets all the sudden? No way. Grabbed the tin of lubed pellets again and shot them … again all over the place. Apparently the avenge x barrel does not like lubed pellets. Funny, i read about it but never had a issue until now.
Oh yeah ,I love to massage my bag too, or even better get the Mrs to lube and massage my bag , seriously though a couple of squirts of Napier from the 125 ml atomiser bottle into a 1/2 tin of pellets then gently roll the tin for a couple of minutes and good to go ,keeps barrel in good condition and I have found it helps lube your magazines too 😊
I thought I was crazy cause I thought my new pellet revolver had lubed cylinder clips and tin of pellets had slight amounts a film of lube on them and it made loading & firing more successful I bought more pellets and gun dry pellets are squibing getting stuck not firing sliding smooth and now I found this video. And I'm in America my pellet gun is 535-550FPS average of 430fps.
Jsb pellets has very soft lead and you damage the most skirts the way you wash them also they are very clean and lube by factory washing is needed to cheap pellets
Jsb are filthy from the factory!
@@airgunhunteru.k.2600 I think you havent see filthy pellets
@@aceofspades1002 🤣🤣🤣
Ok obviously you are correct my friend 👍🏻🤣
Take care and thank you for your expertise 🤣😍
Similar to many CLP products for firearms, the primary, if not only, ingredient in pellet lube is likely just automatic transmission fluid.
I use Lucas dry film, 1 can will last you forever.
Yes this video reminds me of a gag by Eddy Van Halen who explained in a French rock magazine that he used to boil his guitar strings ......
That was 9 drops mate!!!
I would be VERY interested to see comparison weight data of the pellets before and after washing (and before lubrication, of course) to have real data as to what amount of "dirt," if any, is in respective brands' tins. You could even use a paper coffee filter under your "ceramic strainer" to see what, if anything, your rinsing out. Btw, do you shoot competitive ly? Hunt regularly to put food on the table? Or is this therapy of sorts, something I can certainly relate to!
Jsb exact are so hard to find in the states for calabers other then 17
I can’t comment if this is worth doing. But it was a good demonstration for consideration to do.
I am wondering if this does more harm than good, especially dropping the pellets into the strainer from a height rather than placing them in there gently...EDIT Answered my own question, looking at the close up in the final part of the video you can clearly see damaged skirts on a lot of the pellets.
I place a piece of the tin foam in the strainer and carefully poor onto it and then remove the foam.
@@Jeeper1378 Why didn't you in the video? You dumped them into a metal strainer from a height can clearly see all the damaged pellets in the close up of the tin at the end of the video.
@@MikesManCave different person different country 😆
@@Jeeper1378 I see what happened here 🤣🤣
If like my jsb pellets, the damage came from new!
Can I use 100%pure silicone airsoft oil. to lube pellets? Ibet can.
Bell is so cute! My dog does the same thing, if I'm in the kitchen, she sits there and waits for me to drop something
Nicely explained, would you still need to wash these pellets: Gamo Lethal, Excite Prometheus, RWS Powerball, H&N Hornet, Field Target Trophy Green and the Copper Barracuda Power? Also would it be useful to wash and lube Steel and Copper coated BB's for my Air Pistols?
I’m not sure about the Steel and copper, I’d maybe avoid them. The rest I’d still wash buddy
I don't own any air guns.
But i have OCD.
I really enjoyed that.
:-)
🤣🤣🤣👍🏻
Beauty dog
I've done wash and lube once and never again I didn't see anything different in my shooting and I over lubed so my own fault
One thing worth remembering is if they don’t make your groups better or worse they are still preforming preventative maintenance to your barrel every time you use them mate, they are cleaning and lubing your barrel for you while using them with very little effort
@@airgunhunteru.k.2600 aye I understand that but when I say over lubed I soaked them in the stuff so entirely my own fault but at that time I wasn't in the know at all
@@jig3692 oh 😳😳
🤣😂
Oh well mate live and learn, I’m surprised it wasn’t dieseling and chucking them at silly speeds
I think more most part its just about trial and testing. What will work for someone may not work for others. At the shooting range someone was really pushing a resizing tool and so i bought one, went through a whole 500 piece tin and tbh there was no difference for me and my barrel
Theoretically the difference it makes is that after you fire hundreds of these rounds there IS no difference. A common complaint about spread grouping patterns is dealt with by cleaning and lubing the barrel. Doing this cleans and lubes as you go so a difference is not seen.
Thanks for sharing….. To B&M for a strainer….. 👍🤣😂🇬🇧
😂😂😂👍🏻
Taking any bits off makes the weight even more different
That was nine drops :)
😂
How did you get the ‘crack’ sound in the other video? Was it the new spring that increased power?
Sorry buddy I’ve loads of videos and literally thousands of shots in them, I’m not sure which one you mean
@@airgunhunteru.k.2600 I was just curious in the one where you said “speed of sound”…
Andrew I’m lost mate, was that in this video or another? If it was in another can you comment on that video please mate? I have no recollection of saying it
@@airgunhunteru.k.2600 it’s ok never mind
@@dingnextstopput a drop of oil in the skirt before you shoot it and you'll get that sound
this is bokers. tap water is full of nasty shit, not cleaner at all! use distilled water. xo
Always avoid the wet patch ...
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Surely it’s damaging the skirts.
Heads up, do not do this on QYS pellets,as this will have a detrimental effect,Qiang Yuan Sports ( QYS} add there own treatment, although you can iubricate, just do not wash.
Just put a little MORE oil on the “pull through” FINAL PATCH (after cleaning the bore). Stick a pellet in the bore, let the rifle stand upright securely in a corner and watch your favorite show for about an hour. Then take out the air rifle and fire at your neighbors APPLE ON THE TREE😮. Now , strictly follow the old saying “ be good to thy neighbor “ and ask him to pluck THAT APPLE 🍎 for you 🙄. The proof is in the 🍎, 🙈
U have to be kidding me.
Hes just mentioned cleaning the barrel,this wont help anything at all as rifling needs a coating of lead for accuracy
your wasting your time just like im wasting time watching this
😂🤪😂🤪😂🤪😂🤪
Your as bad as the anti hunting campaigner that can’t scroll past something they disagree with without commenting, I’m from here on going to refer to you as Karen 🤣🤣
MegaKaren1977 you mean…
@@ellelephant 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
lol you must not be much of a man to face the truth keep waisting your time like im gana with your dumb###
@@MegaSandman1977 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
U crazy man 😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆 🤣 😂 to much work for nothing I think u have a lot of free time do waste your time with all this crazy things
😂😂🤣🤣😂😂
Why does your dog look so scared 🤔???…..
I’ll be sure to ask her 👍🏻
@@airgunhunteru.k.2600 I’m sure you will
Would of been a good idea to show some target shooting before and after washing your Pellets/bag.........................
