Very good, Ernest. I wash and lube my pellets too(for 30 years). My process is a bit different, but with the same results. The secret is agitation, get em dry and always use..Ballistol.
I feel the garden hose is a bit excessive 😂 but if its working for you 👍 always worth giving those pellets a good clean and weight if your going for a comp at weekend.
Seeing is believing when i see more lead flakes removed when using higher pressure from the garden hose, i seen flakes still attached to the skirt and lead are heavy to remove by the faucet water, the nozzle hose that seem to work best.
