I would think a grease would be too think, lead to gunking up. A silicone liquid/spray sound sbetter, but don't do it on my feedback. I have the same question posed in another thread! I have some silicone spray that most of the spray evaporates. I'd think that would be good but don't see anybody doing it. Everybody is buying some expensive spray. I have so many dedicated cans in my shop of different sprays that it is ridiculous!

Hey Guys, Some pellets like the EunJin's come from the factory with a liquid lubricant (looks like WD-40) already applied. Otherwise, I would stick to the dry wax stuff, like Krytech, White Lighting, etc. You definitely don't won't anything heavy. Steve

I agree. I use White Lightning. I put some pellets in a baby food jar. Then I apply the White Lightning after shaking it up real good. I let them sit for a day or two for the carrier to evaporate. Probably only takes a couple hours. The pellets have a light coat of wax and are easy to handle.

I get my White Lightning in the bike department at Walmart. When you are not shooting your Marauder, White Lightning is a really good lube for your mountain bike. It is clean, and neat, and does not attract dirt.

I have used KryTech for some time now it works very well. I also use it on the bullets that I cast for my large bore air rifle. I have tried alot of different things over the years and this seems to be the one that works.

shoot straight

Krytech is the very best!

If LD uses it that can only mean one thing: It's the best there is!
