[QUOTE="Paulstarr, post: 2956295, member: 116871"] Your thread is a little brief with regard to why you want HBN coating.If you are target shooting for example and shooting 100 plus rounds at the range then it is maybe worthwhile but if you are hunting and using half a dozen rounds then it's not really worth it,I say that because the process takes up to 8 hours and it won't put your 40 thou back.As far as the erosion is concerned I would look at the velocities on a chrono and if they are high calm them down I know it well,I have a 6.5x284 it will shoot a 140gn bullet at 3300fps but if you do 1000 rounds is all you are going to get before the barrel is done, if you back it off to 2950/3000 you can still shot out to 1200yds accurately and extend your barrel life to 3000/4000 rounds.If you can give me a few more details about your shooting and you still want to coat your bullets come back to me and I will let your know what you need.
