Well Del, I dont think applying solvent to the pellets will do much. The cleaning pellet travels so fast through the barrel the solvent won't have time to work. Also, be careful what kind of solvent you use if you do use it, most will destroy the seals in the gun if allowed to come into contact with them. If you must use solvent, use only a quality airgun rated solvent.
You really don't need to clean airgun bores unless you see a significant leading problem or accuracy is degrading. As the rifling in the barrel is very fine and only thousandths of an inch deep over cleaning can do more harm than good.
About those hollow point pellets- you may discover that they are not very accurate from a 1322, they are best used with a high power spring gun. The mushrooming effect really doesn't happen at the low energy levels generated by the 1322 either. If you are going to hunt small game with it, the best pellets are either Crosman Copperhead wadcutters or Crosman Premiers. The wadcutters flat face imparts a good deal of shock to such things as birds and squirrels, and the domed Premiers have excellent penetration even at longer ranges. Both are far more accurate in the 1322.
You will also find that the plastic breech on the 1322 leaves something to be desired. Most owners replace it with an after market aluminum breech that has scope rails. The grips and pump handle can also be replaced with some really nice custom wood pieces.
