[QUOTE="spfarr, post: 1345235, member: 44616"] You might want to consider trying Smooth Kote (by Sentry Solutions), which entails cleaning your barrel down to bare metal (ALL copper and powder fouling out, then rubbing alcohol to remove any cleaning solvents), then applying liquid molybendum disulfate (via patches or felt plugs), then powder molybendum disulfate (via patches). The M-D bonds to the barrel metal. After application, cleaning the barrel entails using a stiff nylon brush and dry patches - no solvents, and no oils. Periodic re-application as needed. Accuracy has been excellent. I do not proclaim to be an expert (on anything), but I have been using Smooth Kote on all my rifles for several years. It is my understanding that applying the M-D to the barrel itself and not the bullets avoids the moly-ring phenomenon/problem that benchrest shooters encountered when applying M-D to their bullets. It is my understanding that Smooth Kote is popular among troops stationed in dry and dusty regions (e.g., Afghanistan), because there is no oil to attract dust/grit. I do not know how well Smooth Kote works in especially wet/humid conditions. A perusal of various forums and/or websites regarding Smooth Kote will presumably offer some more informed opinions/experience than mine - especially for the wet/humid conditions you're dealing with. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
