I like MotorHead's advice,, Trewax,,, squeaky clean barrel, apply Trewax with bore mop, let dry and then shoot it

What ever you choose put it on a towel and then put your pellets on and use the towel to spread it on the pellets. Spraying directly on the pellets you can fill the back end and cause accuracy problems.

like post 5 said , spray the towel then pour some pellets in and roll the pellets , lifting one then the other of the towel , (spray lightly do not wet ) the towel

I use SuperLube pure silicone oil and squirt it right onto the foam inside of an old pellet tin. Then I put whatever amount of pellets or slugs that I am shooting right in there and roll/shake them around as I'm loading up the magazine. My bores stay clean and if I pull a patch through with a string it is generally lead free with a second pass.
Lube is best used with a good bore prep. So give the bore a good Trewax application.

I lube pellets with T9 bike lube. My buddy uses Rem oil. Has helped remove unexplained shots. TX200 and HW97 . Drop in a tin, add some pellets and roll them around,

I'm going to be wildly unpopular here. Unless you have a crap rough barrel you ain't fouling it unless you're shooting it supersonic or shooting hard lead Crosman pellets.. Soft lead clears itself. Hard lead takes a bronze brush to clear

Wax on the bore. I bet it's gone in just a few pellets fired. No way to check it but that is my thought.

I still use the ol' 'Whiscombe Honey'. 2/3 air tool oil and 1/3 STP. Been using it for decades now.

Logic says it shouldn’t have any long-lasting effect, but it does. For pellets, at least. Not only extends cleaning intervals, but also reduces the number of seasoning shots for the POI to stabilize. Or in some cases reduces it to 1 pellet...the one that clears the surface film of wax.
Wax and gun bores
OK, some of you will consider me a few pellets short of a tin, but, I have something I'd like to share, and maybe even get some to thinking/doing. A trick I learned during my military career, from military gunsmiths, was/is to limit as much as possible,the use of grease and/or oil on...

Yeah Bayman you're Wildly unpopular
!A good polishing/waxing of the barrel per Motorhead - is the best medicine I know of for all airgun barrels.
That said, it's more important when shooting PCP's with slugs/higher velocities or harder pellets -> Crosman ...........
IIRC, Scott said you only need to do the actual waxing once/Twice per year and pull a dry patch thru if accuracy falls off.
The wax simply fills the imperfections in the barrel which normally would be done by shooting/originally leading the barrel anyway (aka tuning the barrel).
