Air pistol bore polisher

I remember that some time back a member was distressed by a batch of old oxidzed pellets, claiming they were injurious to the bore.
With the alloy change, we no longer have this purported "problem." So when I found an old unopened package of Daisy flat nose I got kind of curious.
Man, they were white! Since many have proclaimed the virtues of "fire-lapping" using abrasive coated bullets to polish bores for enhanced accuracy, I thought I'd play.
I shot a practice match with these pellets (no sight adjustment) and shot a 93, three 95s, a 97, and a Grand Finale of 88, just to piss away a decent score.
Afterward I examined the bore on my Steyr LP1. That sucker shined like a mirror. Whether it helped accuracy, I won't know until I test the gun.
I'm thinking of bagging the Daisy's in packs of 50 and selling them for $10. Interested? (Even though there is no evidence that lead oxide is abrasive?)
