Is lubricating pellets necessary? I've read that people do it but am not sure if it's necessary or if it's better for certain sizes.
Is lubricating pellets necessary?

I am going to find out. I used to clean lube sort all that and I stopped .
I buy JSB pellets not crosman premier and stopped doing anything but shooting.
Now I’m in a position that has me shooting field target three or four days a week. I am cranking through some pellets. So I bought a bottle of oil. And I put a new tin of pellets in a bag with six drops of oil. Rolled them around and returned them to the tin.
Now I am going to shoot both a new tin with oil and a new tin without . Both from the same batch. Let’s see what happens.

Above 950 fps youll get fouling you need to clean out. Lube reduces this fouling. Below 950 fps you do not get lead fouling.

Blackpowder lead rounds have a grease groove. Copper jackets were needed for higher FPS without ridiculous fouling.

Interesting. I don't recall us giving Napier permission to use us as a reference or to use our logo. Especially since we do NOT recommend lubing pellets.

A little trademark infringement. Sounds like you have royalties or a lawsuit in your future.

I like your idea . Six drops seems excessive to me . when i used to doo all that i used a microfiber cloth with a small squirt of lemon pledge on it to roll the pellets around in . My results were = no difference shooting,, but cleaner finger tips .

No, we usually send our esteemed colleagues Alexei, Sergey, and Igor. They have a very, uh, "convincing" way of pointing out misconduct.A little trademark infringement. Sounds like you have royalties or a lawsuit in your future.

I have a modified HFT 500.
Now that I have my own field target course permanently set up. I go to the range with what ever I’m up to. And always take my HFT and do a loop. This was last Sundays 84 shot loop. I missed six shots. But I am trying to hit the same spot on the kill zone paddle. So I can really how I’m doing.
Plus I am building a 100 yard benchrest lane. That will be finally set up this weekend .
And Sunday is a field target competition. So by Monday I should be able to see if there is any perceived difference or can I shoot an 84 shot loop and only miss three shots. That would be the 50% increase in accuracy that I am fully expecting based on the advertising .

It will probably depend on the wind, sun, temp, Caffeine and bugs as to weather the lube makes any difference.
