was washing some pellets today i use a commercial jewelry cleaner.
was kind of surprised to see this on slugs
i have seen it on some pellets chp/ jsb not so bad and not any in the 2 tins of Jts pellets?
the worst was my favorite slugs well group the best so far, the fx hybrid 26g
none of the Zan slugs did this?
Neilson's out of a box only had a few 5 not bad the one box of the fx hybrids 28 out of 100.
is this corrosion or casting now i see where possibly the fliers come from possibly? or dirty the barrel?

Just a guess but almost looks like your cleaning agent is causing corrosion.

They look pitted, like rust can do. Or even the effect strong acids can have on materials susceptible to a particular acid.

I'm thinking that what ever cleaner you are using is corroding the tin or antimony out of the projectiles. I don't think the lead would react like that as I've used lead lined sulfuric acid etch tanks and the lead never was affected by the acid.

Lol. Ya I use simple on something here and it was not good .. lol

There site and all has no disclaimers on anything. Safe for all ( hooray) ..lol


There's that disclaimer about test in a inconspicuous area first so I guess maybe grab a pellet and slug and check before using on a bunch ..

Good luck. Like neertheif I use dish soap wash

I remember now it " pitted" my cast aluminum P K grill when I used it to clean up a simple in it .. ( not happy)
