    Oiling pellets

    Hi Guys,

    I have seen some people clean there pellets in dish soap and re apply napier pellets lube to keep oxidation down. I was wondering some products that could be used in place?

    Dupont telfon wax?
    Sewing machine oil?
    Finish line DRY bike lube?

    Any tips would be great

    I don't believe oiling pellets has ever been established to do anything, performance-wise. If you have a need to wash dirty pellets, then a slight amount of a 3-in1 or such would be sufficient, but I would suggest drying them as much as possible afterwards, otherwise you risk causing more corruption with excess oil in the barrel.
    I'd say I care- but I'd probably be lying...
