[QUOTE="knc1105, post: 772487, member: 23577"] I forgot to mention on the Boran reducing friction and adding so much to your barrel life it also keeps barrel temps way down. That should not matter much on a 6.8 but on my Lilja #5 contour barrel on my 338 RUM it makes a huge difference. I wanted to keep that rifle "Hunter Weight" I'm getting too old to pack a 28" bull barrel around in the mountains hunting. If you take a temp reading on the barrel using one of the thermal guns you point at it and get a digital temp reading, your barrel (for me) was cooler after firing 5- shots with a Boran Nitride coated bullet than it was after shooting only 2- Naked uncoated bullets. So it is possible to fire more bullets before barrel temps on the lighter profile barrel open up your groups. Please don't start with the cute remarks about you only fire once. We got into a herd of long range wild hogs, that we had trouble getting close enough to use our 7.62x39 AR's on, and when there are 30-40 hogs in a single herd destroying your Coastal fields you shoot till the barrel starts to glow. (I'm kidding about ruining my barrel) But in a open field at day break you could get off more shots than you normally would like to shoot a RUM caliber without stopping. The Boran coating is NOT hyrdoscopic like moly, it does not draw moisture and rust barrels like some have had happen using the moly coating. [/QUOTE]
