Hammer bullets coexist with Cup/Lead Core bullet loads

[Varmint Hunter]

Any chance this comes down to match grade vs factory barrels or rifling type?

I don't know the answer to your question, but all of my testing/shooting has been through quality match grade barrels, ie: Broughton, Lilja, Bartlein, Krieger, etc. Many of my barrels have 5C rifling.

So this thread has me thinking about HBN coating all my bullets - including the mono's. Has anyone coated their mono's and observed the results?

As I rarely clean down to bare metal, my "go to" c-c and mono loads appear not to affect one another as my barrel baseline is semi-fouled. I always leave trace amounts of copper in the deeper barrel imperfections. Perhaps I'm too lazy to run it out... I'll ask my analyst (wife). I see more range time in my future.
