[QUOTE="MLN1963, post: 2537895, member: 68159"] You do not need to coat the barrel with HBN first. That came straight from the mouth of David Tubb when I had a conversation with him. The coated bullets season the barrel in about 20-30 shots. Will coating it first speed the process? Probably. I use the coated DTACs and think barrels clean up quicker because of the HBN. It does take a slight bit more powder because it’s slippery and lowers pressure. Maybe .3-.5 grains in a Creedmoor sized case. Ultimately you can get slightly higher speeds before hitting pressure if you have room in the case for a bit more powder. I don’t push hard anymore, I like the easier cleaning and the possibility of the cold bore shot being with the rest of the group. [/QUOTE]
