RE: Why bother to wash the pellets?

I thought that washing was only needed if you open a tin & look at the inside of the cover.......and it is covered with tiny lead shavings. I guess this can foul a barrel real quick. But, if you don't see this contamination, you shouldn't need to wash your pellets. Actually, if your pellets don't need washing, the less they are handled, the better............I think.......

I have only washed Crosman pells, when you open a box of premiers and see all that junk ,you wonder why they are called premiers. As for damaging them CP's are a hard pellet so no damage. I ordered some gamo's but a week and a little more than a half and no pellets yet.

I ordered 6 tins and got 2 or should I say one full and one with about 200 or less pellets where the other 4 went I have no idea , I called Gamo and have a new reorder coming I hope I will get what I paid for , It looks as if someone in Gamo is steeling pellets why would you open a tin and take most of the pellets out and reclose the tin if you wanted it to look as if they opened by them self also the tins of pellets came in a paper shipping envelope no packing at all , really sucks. howie
