Daisy .22 Precision Max Hollow Point

Found a tin of 500 of these I forgot I had.  While watching my 3-year-old granddaughter today, I washed and weighed them - more to amuse myself than anything else.  No weight on the tin but a quick Google indicated 14.0 grains.  On my scale, they went 12.8 to 14.4 grains.  Approximately half weighed 13.85 or greater and a random 50 of these averaged 13.95 grains.  Less than a hundred were in the 13.25-13.85 range.  The remainder (roughly a third of the tin) were under 13.25 and a random 50 averaged 13.05 grains.  Draw your own conclusions.

I shoot these fairly regular . Yes they do have imperfections and are not polished like some more expensive pellets ,  and I have not found an actual advertised weight online either . Although they do list gr. weight for the round and flat nose versions , both around 14 . I can not argue with success , they shoot well in my .22 cal Cabelas rifle , and don't cost much . I have seen several references to people washing pellets etc. , what method is used for this ? Does it improve accuracy or decrease lead residue in the barrel , do you do this with all pellets or just the cheap stuff ?
Thanks , Ethan

MM... I haven't gotten into washing pellets, primarily because I feel it does little for accuracy or keeping the barrel clean. I think most object to the lead on their hands, but a wet wipe will take care of that before you stick your fingers in your mouth or before a good pick as necessary! I grew up sucking on pellets and split-shot and I'm still here with the exception of more than a few missing hairs and teeth, but I wouldn't attribute those ills to the lead. A lot of guys also wash their pellets prior to lubing them. Another effort I think is wasted, at least for my purposes.
