Just go to a local bicycle shop and buy White Lightning or Krytech chain lube.

Wow,,, Thanks GKU

Ok Pellet Oil it is… Back to on line shopping

you need to use pellet oil, petroleum-oil or mix might detonate (dieseling)

Thanks Guys for your input… I will try some soon. As I’m new to this, I have ordered many different pellets to try. I’m just about through a tin so I will turn it into a lube tin. I will try some oil I have around here and see what happens.

Thanks
Jim

I put a bit of thin foam at the bottom of a pellet can and add some pellet oil to it. The pellets pickup a thin layer of oil as they move around in the can when you carry it or if you give it a gentle shake.
I only do it for pellets in the airforce barrels. Seems to keep it clean and accuracy is always good.
I sometimes use other “dry” pellets and I don’t notice difference.
But maybe it is because the barrels are kept clean byt the “wet” pellets.

Somebody should do a go trial on this to debunk the myth or not.
In the mean time, pellet oil won’t hurt and it does in fact keep the barrel cleaner.

My 2c

I tried it with all my Airguns to see if it would help with the accuracy.
Some liked it and some don’t you need to experiment if your barrel/gun prefers it over dry.
My Cricket compact 177 cal seemed to like a little lube, but I experience an inconstancy with the groupings after a wail I went back to dry.

I used Ballistol in a empty pellet tin with a foam lining on the bottom, through some in and rolled them around.
I used one drop per tin of pellets and I lube only the amount I needed to shoot for a fill.
Some swear by other produces and I’m sure they will chime in …… but what ever you choose to use, don’t over lube them.
