[QUOTE="Wallie, post: 2535465, member: 107256"] I use HbN, and I have found almost no downsides, beyond the extra prep time. I also recommend you look into the handling instructions… mostly about seasoning the bore of your rifle, and also the handling instructions. Everything involved needs to be very clean, dry, oil free and stay that way. I use nitrile gloves to ensure my skin oil doesn’t contaminate and surfaces while washing and drying the projectiles, and also handling them in the loading process. My main concern is the reduction in both copper and carbon fouling, allowing longer intervals between cleaning. I want to be able to shoot several hundred rounds over the course of a day out in the prairie dog fields, with out needing to bring along cleaning stuff. The incidental benefits of extended barrel life, more consistent bore condition/first round impacts are nice, and I also like raising my maximum velocity before encountering pressure signs. My varmint 223AI’s can hit 3600fps with 53g Vmax coated and seasoned, where 3500 was my limit uncoated. [/QUOTE]
