Any one out there using HBN/Hexagonal Boron Nitrate to coat their bullets?
I have been using it for a while now and have noticed that...
I have less fouling
Barrel is super easy to clean (Copper/Carbon are wiped clean with only a few brushings and a couple of wet patches)
First shot is very close if not dead on with the rest. (no foulers needed to get to the real POI)
I have been coating bullets in my vibratory tumber in old pill bottles with BB's.
I use a mixture of rubbing alcohol and HBN to "season" the barrel before a match to eliminate fouler shots.
I first swab all the oil, I leave in the bore for storage, out with pure rubbing alcohol, then I use one soaked patch of HBN/alcohol mix, then one dry patch to get out any excess.
I mixed some in hoppes gun oil and use as a lube on all moving parts.(slick as snot!) I even use it on my Colt .45, to lube the slide.very smooth.
Any one have any other uses? Good/bad experiences? Any other opinions on the use of HBN?
:)
To me it's been some kind of miracal powder. I would like to know how it has been working out for you.
