[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 2546725, member: 1521"] I believe that, and WS2 cleans right out (far easier than carbon). An advantage is in dry pre-fouling, with the first 5 shots being good and normal fouling taking over. Somehow, WS2 can function as a 'universal' fowling. If I were to shoot ~25 shots with a given powder, that gun would likely not shoot well with another powder until I've removed the 1st fowling, and refouled with the different powder. But, if I dry prefoul with WS2, I do not need to refoul for any different powder. Another advantage, if bullets are also coated, is a strong mitigating of copper fouling. I also like WS2 over other coatings, because it cleans out easy and it does not affect muzzle velocity. So it's very easy to manage. If I were to leave my bores uncleaned, in bad environments over time, then I can picture a cost for coating (like corrosion). But that is never what I do. If I take a gun out and shoot it once, or not at all, but subject it to bad conditions, then I fully clean it back at the house. If I take it out of state for a week of hunting, I don't leave the gun in the back of my truck or anything. I treat it as well as my wife. And when I get back home, I clean it. Maybe that's why I've never had a problem with it. [/QUOTE]
