Cheap and easy to use.
Doesn't do what it says on the tin
After reading all the rave reviews I decided to give the lube a try and put it through its paces using a target and a chronograph I used 3 brands of pellets Crosman, Accupells, Bisely long range gold and air arms field and tried each one with and without lube
to ensure a fair test I used solvents to clean any pre-existing lube and coated 100 pellets from each tin with 3 drops of lube as stated on the packet
TARGET TEST:
After putting each lubed and un-lubed pellet through targets at different ranges I noticed one thing. There wasn't any difference between the lubed and un-lubed pellets in fact the two still behaved the same clocking similar groupings up the range
CHRONOGRAPH TEST:
In order to make the test consistent I strapped my rifle in a vice and aimed at exactly 4 inch above the sensors (as stated in the manual)
and same again there was little or no difference between the pellets that had been treated with the lube and those that hadn't the only real difference was on the air arms pellets which were slightly tighter in the barrel than the others but even then I'd only go as far to say it was a 0.1% increase
CONCLUSION:
Maybe PCP rifles don't like the lube maybe I'm adding to little or too much but I've tested it and I cant find any noticeable change in performance this might be down to the fact that lead is a natural lubricant which is why it was used in car engines in the old days etc maybe lead free pellets would benefit from this stuff??
I'm giving the lube a low score based on my findings
