More times than not ... Nothing
If using hard lead pellets, slugs or really zinging them fast, many ( myself included ) have had really good luck using Wax chain lube such as FINISHLINE Krytec. Have also had very good luck washing pellets in Naptha / White gas with an @ 20:1 ratio of 2 stroke oil, allowed to air dry they have micro film of very high lubricity low flash point lube left on them.

I have tried many and have settled on FP-10. It works great and does what it’s meant to do , and does it well.

As usual I just use what I have around and that was 3-in-one silicone oil a few drops on the foam in a pellet tin pour in slugs shake them around a few seconds pour them out and let them dry a few minutes. Then shoot them as fast as you can so you can do it again.

Nation,
Some of my rigs like them lubed, and others do not, and there are some guns where it doesn't matter either way.
I'll use Finishline Krytech for some, and Lemon Pledge for others.
Here is a video showing the washing and lubing process.

I have tried a few things and either could tell no difference or accuracy suffered. Until....I tried Lemon Pledge. Yeah, I know it sounds stupid using Pledge furniture polish. But I have had really good results. It was recommended to me about a year ago and I have used it since. I wash my pellets in warm water and dish liquid and let dry. Then pour them out on a towel and lightly spray with Lemon Pledge, gently roll them around, let that dry and then put them in the tin. With my springers I noticed more consistency in grouping and the barrel stays clean and it does not build up in the barrel. I have shot literally 3-4000 pellets this way. They smell good too....

I use Ballistol. I've heard of Hornady Case Lube Spray,which sounds ideal,very slick. I'm gonna try the lemon pledge next. Heard about it from some OLD guy that's been using the stuff. Makes sense to me.

I like this silicone WD-40 on slugs. Tried Pledge but it left a dry build up that I didn't like, although many do.
