Use for cleaning and keep clean bore/barrel of airguns.
Here's how I use them in a PCP or break-barrel airgun: (have a pair of tweezers handy). Make sure the airgun is on SAFE and always pointed in a safe direction, remove any attached moderator until cleaning is complete, holding the cleaning pellet with a tweezer, I moderately soak the cleaning pellet in Ballistol (never use any product that contains petroleum), insert cleaning pellet into barrel from breach end and push it home with the pellet probe. Follow that first cleaning pellet with 3 dry cleaning pellets and shoot them in a safe direction. I may be very loud because some PCP airguns shoot these at speeds exceeding the speed of sound, resulting in a loud "crack" sound.
Since I'm OCD I usually repeat this for a second time.
I generally use this procedure every 200 or so shots.
Then I recommend after shooting 500 shots, to clean the barrel from the breach end, using Patchworm pull-through until patches come out clean.
Barrel cleaning is controversial. My own position is that barrels are designed to be clean. Another view is that barrels "need to be seasoned", letting pellet/slug residue build up.
To me, that is counter-intuitive. The rifling is there for a purpose, i.e. To spin the pellet/slug for increased accuracy. Obscuring the rifling with pellet/slug residue would defeat that objective somewhat over time.
In my own experience, and I shoot Pcps in my backyard at 50m every day for 2 to 3 hours, my recommended cleaning has resulted and kept my PCPs with consistent accuracy.
Patches and Ballistol are available in my store:
