Maintaining the accuracy and longevity of your air rifle starts with a clean barrel, and VFG Cleaning Pellets (100) .177 offer a straightforward solution. These felt pellets are engineered to remove lead deposits and debris from deep within the rifling, ensuring consistent performance shot after shot. Compact and easy to use, they are perfect for shooters who need a quick cleaning method without the hassle of rods and patches. Simply load, fire, and let the pressure do the work. Whether you are at the range or in the field, these pellets make maintenance simple.
Effective barrel maintenance is crucial for accuracy, and the VFG Cleaning Pellets (100) .177 provide an innovative way to achieve a thorough clean. Unlike traditional pull-throughs or rods that require manual effort, these pellets utilise the mechanics of your air rifle to scour the barrel.
The process relies on the pressure generated when the gun is fired. As the felt pellet accelerates down the barrel, the pressure causes it to compress in length while simultaneously expanding in diameter. This expansion creates high friction against the barrel walls, forcing the dense felt material deep into the grooves of the rifling. It follows the twist of the barrel precisely, ensuring that every millimetre of the bore is scrubbed clean of residue and lead buildup.
These pellets are particularly useful for the final shot of the day, allowing you to clear the barrel quickly before storage. There is no need for complex kits or solvents when you are out in the field; simply carrying a small tin of these pellets ensures you are always prepared.
To ensure no felt fibres remain inside the bore after cleaning, it is highly recommended to load a pointed lead pellet behind the felt plug and fire them together. This practice helps clear any loose material, leaving the barrel ready for your next session. While available in packs of 80 and different calibres, this specific pack ensures you have an ample supply for regular maintenance.
