Will Ballistol on pellets help keep them from oxizing?

OK, so 4 years ago I stepped into the airgun world when I purchased a Remington Express Hunter in .22 (it’s actually manufactured by Crosman and is functionally the same as their Vantage). Since I’ve had it I’ve improved the trigger a whole lot as well as a couple of other minor changes/adjustments to make this low end, Chinese made gun a reasonable plinking and hunting shooter. But this was only after going through a dozen plus different types of pellets to find it’s preferred ammo (being on a tight budget meant quite at outlay of money); however, I finally learned that generally this gun prefers 18 + grain ammo (JBS Diabolo’s particularly). I also have a 2240 that seems to like about anything I feed it so the left over trial ammo can be plinked away with that.
Now I don’t see this ever happening , but IF in the future I should acquire another .22, I want to save a few of each of the different pellets that did poorly in this gun to try in any possible new gun.  I have taken 20-40 pellets from each tin and put them in small plastic prescription bottles and labeled them.
Quedtion: If these pellets were lightly coated with Ballistol, would that help prevent them from oxidizing?

Yes, Ballistol will help prevent oxidation.

Yes, the Ballistol would probably reduce or prevent oxidation.  Any residual Ballistol would probably detonate, though.  Some people wash their pellets then when dry apply a wax coating such as a bicycle chain lubricant.  A mat is saturated with the lubricant and the pellets rolled around on it.  The lubricated pellets are then allowed to dry leaving a thin wax film.

But most pellets already arrive in that Dismal Gray Color.  Others come "Chrome Shiny". so which ones are oxidized?

When I open a tin of pellets I lubed with ballistol six months later, they are in worse shape than the non ballistolled ones. Prior to sitting for months, however, they are fine and better than un ballistoled ones. I have had this experience with crosman and h&n pellets, which I mostly shoot.

I now only tumble, clean, and ballistol an amount of pellets that I know I will use within a month. And only the crosmans except....
The big exception here is lead free pellets, such as the exceptional ftt green pellets. I know you tube loves pushing the gto's. I also know I'm not the only one here who discovered ftt greens are accurate in a lot of guns that also like the lead ftts (as long as the fps stays subsonic).  The ftt greens with ballistol never deteriorate for me.

Thanks for your replies; maybe instead of using Ballistol I should lubricate them with something else like silicone.

Powder coating will eliminate the oxidation problem.

Just use pledge dusting polish. It won't detonate and should prevent oxidation. Ballistol is just water soluble oil.
