[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 719593, member: 1521"] Pons, Personally, I use WS2 for prefouling but HBN might work well. If you take your barrels to CLEAN, which is more than a couple patches of Hoppes, there is typically a need for shooting to foul the bore. If you leave oil in the bore, it takes 5-8 shots to burn out & reach stable fouling. Also, some guns simply will not cold bore shoot with warm bore groups. I had a Tubb2000 that would cold bore shoot, or hot bore shoot no problem, but from cold to hot bore there was a full 1/4moa of POI shift(often bigger than my grouping). I solved the pre-fouling issue with all my guns by cleaning bores completely, drying them, and then dry burnishing with tungsten(WS2). My bullets are also coated. With this, my first shot fits within a typical five shot group from cold, -for guns capable. I can put my guns in the safe dry and know when I pull one, and drop it in the dirt on a bipod, the first shot IS good. Load is only one part of cold bore shooting. [/QUOTE]
