Pellet lube
What do yall like?
I have heard of using pledge and on the video that came wiith my talon they used break free and recommended any quality lube. I have been using a little dab of bore butter, an all natural black powder lube, in each tin. It seems to be working well but then again I really have no idea what to look for in a good pellet lube, improved accuracy I would assume?

Humm? I’ve been using it for years. No problems! Can’t find the slick 50 here at all anymore. 😥
Be careful with FP-10 as it will destroy o-rings. I used it in two different CO2 rifles and ruined the bolt o-rings and then switched to Slick 50.
The chain lube that many have found to work well is Krytec.
I use FP-10 or slick-50 oneshot.

I’ve heard that some wax based bicycle chain lubes work well, haven’t tested it yet but I will give it a go when I get my .22 barrel next week.
Lubed pellets didn’t make much difference in my Talon SS. I used Break Free on the two brands that shot the best in the gun.
Each gun/barrel is a little different, so you will need to run a test on your own gun.
Clean your barrel real good, open a tin of new pellets and shoot 5 groups of 10 shots. Recharge the gun and lube 50 or so of the pellets and shoot 5 more groups.
Report your findings back here.
Good luck.

pellet lube, i don’t know if this is black magic or what but i have had mixed results,
crosman pellets seem to like just a wif of oil in the tin, like a quick spray of rem gun oil, and roll the pellets around after closing the lid
or two or three drops of fp 10 in a half empty can and roll them around, some pellets like it wetter than others.
I know when i am shooting for best groups with jsb pellets, i will have the fp 10 sitting there and just have a touch of oil on my finger tips, when i load a pellet i roll it in my finder tips before loading it into the gun, and seems to shoot tighter groups. any way that day it seemed to help
I think it was eujins that seemd to not like any extra oil on them at all, like off my finder tips. to shoot best.
like i said ( black magic) i dont know some time i think something that works best one day doesn’t the next, i think the best way is to keep an ope mind and keep trying if one things not working or has changed, don’t throw up your hands and head for the liquor cabinet, just change it up and keep moving ahead.
