Crosman hollow probe build

Be interesting to see if it diesels.

let us know what that chain wax product is.

That sounds reasonable Paul, that a stronger blast or air has more chance of opening up a skirt.

What have you guys tried as pellet lube?
I know there are commercially avalible little bottles, but are there any home remidys that are cheaper or more easily avalible?
I saw one guy on u tube, Tinys rifle stocks or something, (he shoots some impressive groups so he’s probably worth listening to) using a bicycle chain wax which is in a liquid form and dries fairly quickly.
I think another guy was suggesting automatic transmission fluid… do u think that would produce dieseling?

Yep not for hunting. He's also using a pcp which may be firing at good fpe.
I wouldn't go by that myself as I've spent the time shooting unsorted pellets verses sorted and never got that good result with damaged pellets.
Each to thier own.

Head sizing and weighing reduces Flyers. I have no dought on that from target shooting on farm.

I guess sorting first, visually and weighing would be the first step, then deal with the damaged skirt ones, or use them for practice.

Ja, what you say about the barrel not offering enough resistance to “grip” the pellet while the probe reforms a damaged skirt, makes perfect sence.

I wonder if u can buy a mini press that would reform the skirt and at the same time swage a pellet.
Maybe the ultra competitive competition guys have already come up with one to make sure every pellet is perfectly uniformly shaped and sized…
Like powder burners who work out individual case volumes and weigh every case for uniformity, I’m sure a pellet swager/skirt uniformer would greatly increase the accuracy of any air gun.
