Title: Treating pellets does anyone
Post by: Pappywith4 on August 05, 2014, 11:52:34 AM
Does anyone use krytech on their pellets?
I had a gun tuner share with me this product!
It is a lubricant for chains on bicycles that uses a wax for lubricating instead of oil !
I have used this by adding enough in a tin of pellets to barely coat all of the pellets!
I squirt some in the tin and close it up then slowly rotate it till I feel they all have been coated !
Then I let it dry on them before using!
If you look inside my barrel it is as shinny as can be!
The only thing I do is after a tin of pellets 500 , I pull a snake through it! ( man is that snake mad at me ) lol. If not this product what do you use?

I have heard of this Krytech treatment. Where does one find this Krytech?

Well only so much because with every shot the pellet heats up and it burns off ! I have around 1500 shots with zero problem except a shinny barrel!

I do ... then i don't  :o

Some of my PCP's indeed do better with treated pellets, while other degrade in accuracy with wax. ( Too much wax especially !! )

Ideally you ONLY want a trace amount done by rolling clean & dry pellets over a Foam tin pad with a small amount of Krytek on it.
NO wax in skirt tails .. NO wax in waist .. ONLY being on the bearing surfaces in contact with rifling.

LESS is MORE when it comes to pellet lube has been my experience.

I have been using lemon pledge for years to treat my pellets.  My local pellets need resizing.  After resizing, I short spray twice into a tin and pour the pellets in; close the lid and shake it all over for about a minute.  Then I use a hair dryer on them for 2 minutes and they are done.  I have never cleaned my barrels since I started this treatment. As I have mentioned, accuracy at 50+ yards is 0.5" ctc for 5 shot groups.  Just killed 3 rats at 30+ yards using my H85 sniper with 0.177 pellets.
