Maintaining accuracy and precision is crucial for any shooter, and the VFG Cleaning Pellets (80) .22 offer a simple yet highly effective solution for keeping your rifle barrel in peak condition. Unlike standard patches, these felt pellets use the pressure of firing to expand in diameter. This expansion creates high friction, forcing the felt deep into the rifling grooves to clear out lead and debris. Ideal for field use, they are perfect for that final maintenance shot of the day. Simply load, fire, and ensure your barrel remains spotless and ready for your next outing.
Proper barrel maintenance is essential for consistent accuracy, and the VFG Cleaning Pellets (80) .22 provide a sophisticated solution that utilises the physics of your rifle to ensure a thorough deep clean. Rather than solely relying on the manual friction of a rod and patch, these pellets harness the energy of the shot itself to scour the barrel.
When the gun is fired, the mechanics of the cleaning process begin immediately. The immense pressure and rapid acceleration act upon the felt pellet, causing it to undergo a physical change: it shrinks in length while simultaneously expanding in diameter. This expansion is critical to the products success. It generates the desired high friction, forcing the robust felt material to press itself tightly into the rifling grooves. As the pellet travels down the barrel, it faithfully follows the twist, scrubbing out deposits and fouling that static cleaning methods might miss. This ensures that every part of the barrel is reliably cleaned.
These pellets are exceptionally convenient for shooters on the move. They are the ideal accessory to carry for the last shot of the day, allowing you to quickly and easily clear the barrel before transport or storage. To ensure a completely clear bore and prevent any felt fibres from lingering in the rifling, it is highly recommended to insert a pointed lead pellet behind the felt plug. By shooting the two together, you ensure a seamless, residue-free clean.
