    I’m shooting a bigger airgun (Texan .457) but I also have found some improvement using Ballistol. I apply it by putting some on a rag inside of a plastic bag, then lightly lubing each bullet before...

    I consider 100 yards as my practical distance. It will go further, but ethically for hunting that is a good max range.

    The soft lead is because the steel in the air rifle barrels is softer, so if you use harder lead (ww), then it will damage your barrel.

    I have the same gun, and it works great for me. I have big PCPs, but if I really want to hunt small game quietly and effectively, this will one of my first options!

    Smoke,

    Here’s an example, this is after shooting some yellow bullets. It’s not thick, but noticeable. Maybe I’ll try cooking longer.

    Sorry, couldn’t get the pic to load.

    I’m afraid that would diesel on me Greg. I’m shooting large bullets (250-400 gr) using over 3000 psi. It’s really a different beast from regular airguns

    I have both, and have done quite a bit of testing with newer pellets. I think the .177 is great for squirrels, but anything bigger you still want to stay with the .22.
