And wouldn't buying better pellets save all the aggro? Quote Link to post

PLEDGEY 493 Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 I use the Napier oil. Nothing to do with accuracy I just like that there is some thing going down the barrel that is going to leave a bit of oiliness in there. As for grouping I don't have any issues. Let a mate of mine have a shoot over the Christmas break. We were in a barn and put some targets out, just some rat and magpie silhouettes, at 25 yrds. Come the end we had a 1 1/2'' long piece of 15mm diameter copper pipe with a 6'' concrete block on it, to stop the pipe from moving, and my mate was shooting straight down it no problem. Baring in mind my S410 is left-handed and he's right handed I think that's pretty good. EDIT; this was not free hand, he was shooting off a bag on a table....he ain't THAT good :-) 1 Quote Link to post
mr rooney 5 Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 I found adding any sort of lube brings you into a world of inconsistency especially if any finds its way into to skirt. I just use .20 JSBs our of the tin and they’re capable of hitting shot gun shells at 100 yards so good enough for me. 1 Quote Link to post
philpot 4,927 Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 I was going to try this method but after a fair bit of reading on the subject and getting square eyes watching youtube footage, I didn't bother as the pellets are working fine. I did note however that most of the guys who were lubing pellets were washing and drying them first to remove all the swarf. This aspect of the process seems to be very important from what I saw. Maybe one day Phil Quote Link to post
