Hey Hector,Now that I have used T-9 on pellets for my springers, will I need to clean the bores more often due to wax/lead buildup?- Also, do I need to worry about additional dieseling and piston seal wear - getting 20-40 fps more in most springers .Thanks,Kirk
What is T_9? Any other trade names it might be called please?What is the hammock method? (Allowing to drain?)

A rifle that shoots lubed pellets can go for a year/30,000 shots without cleaning.As long as you use the "Hammocking" system/technique you are not putting enough lube to create a buildup.Also, there are no solids in T-9, so there is no "wax" to build-up.The gain you're seeing is a gain in EFFICIENCY of the pellet/barrel interfase.Less friction, less heat, more energy transferred from the spring into the pellet.I am glad that you are keeping track of things.Thanks for the update, keep well and shoot straight!HM
Kirk, Did you use the T-9 spray or the liquid?Steve

Yeah, the T-9 liquid used sparingly on my pellets give an increased velocity not seen before with my polished and waxed barrels (pellets straight from the tin). There is no increased report or smell associated with detonation or dieseling that I can detect. So they maybe a combination of increased efficiency and some minor amount increased dieseling - who knows .- Time will tell, but for now my vote is for Hector

Will this also work on PCP's?

I have a similar thread going over at Airgun Nation in the PCP Forum.Long story short, Motorhead doesn't think it helps and actually thinks it fouls the barrel too much unless your shooting pellets in the 925/960 fps range or slugs at 900 fps.Many folks are against it in both platforms - check it out.https://www.airgunnation.com/threads/pellet-lubes-fp-10-or-boeshield-t-9.1284675/
Bye the way, what is the "Hammocking Method"? Swinging/rocking the pellets in a lubed cloth?I lube in a empty JSB tin, sandwiching them between two foam pads (top/bottom) with lube on them. Then gently swirl, rotate or move the tin side by side swishing the pellets around.

The pellets roll end to end and cross over the lube dampened section with each pass.Steve
