Once the bullet starts moving down the barrel all the air inside the barrel will start moving down the barrel. Unless the lint is resting on the bullet it’ll never even touch the bullet. And if the lint is resting on the bullet it won’t make a difference anyways, it’ll just get blown out.

Even if the barrel was full of lint the only thing different you’d probably notice when shooting is the smell of burning lint on the first shot.

You can watch slow motion videos of guns firing and before the bullet exits the barrel you will see a blast of debris exit. This includes any unburnt gun powder from the previous round, gas blow-by from the current round, and of course any lint that happens to be hanging out in there.
