[QUOTE="gohring3006, post: 2503340, member: 78762"] Things I observe when people can’t get good results when using hbn. Failure to give it enough time. Some barrels take longer than others to season. Not being consistent in the application of hbn. Not tumbling the bullets long enough. If you start with clean bullets, always clean your bullets. I tumble for 5 hours. I use a clean bore snake after every range session and apply two strokes of slurry before putting in the safe. The key is to do it every time. (Consistency). If you’re having trouble with hard seating afterwards, either wipe your bullets more or adjust neck tension. Always clean the area where the seating stem contacts the bullets because you get build up from hbn and before you know it, your seating deeper. I learned that the hard way. Velocity does change with hbn and if you have enough room in the case you can add more powder, I don’t unless I have to, if I can get the precision I like with the lower pressure/velocity I stay there and enjoy long brass and barrel life. It’s not always a tumble and play process, adjustments have to be made. Wether it’s neck tension or powder charge or both. [/QUOTE]
