The paint I used is the exact paint you suggested in the OP. Grass Green?
I'd read somewhere such that #6 improved velocity, but I'm just getting started. I'll try without #6 next time out. I also went back and tried to find the reference to tumble lubing PC's and could not find it. Who knows? Maybe I just dreamed it.
I would agree that the airsoft pellets appeared to be unnecessary. I just had them around, so I thought I'd throw them in. You're right. I figured the pellets would sift out, but they stuck in the mesh with the bullets. The good point about the pellets is the first coat with pellets was a bit smoother, but you could not tell by the time the 2nd coat was applied.
