[QUOTE="Bullet bumper, post: 1308970, member: 17844"] I think people have read about the binders used to make solid HBN products they can be hygroscopic but HBN powder by it's self is not as far as I can ascertain . However I have not done any work on any potential oxidation products of HBN in the bore during exposure to powder flame and after but it seems very inert to me at this stage . I did years of research and experiments with MoS2 Moly but HBN can't be bothered really . As far as I can tell the only real down side is what could happen under the HBN coating in the bore over time . I am not going to speculate but I personally would not trust the thin coating to exclude air from the steel surface as well as an oil or grease would . I personally would give the barrel a good scrub and lubricate it well if putting the gun away for say a whole season without use . [/QUOTE]
