[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 1071896, member: 1521"] There are other prefoulers; moly, HBN, graphite. Moly changes MV, it doesn't clean out, builds up, and so it takes a good plan in using. You don't want to use moly without a diligent plan. Graphite reduces copper buildup, but the bore has to be powder fouled with it same as without graphite(just fewer shots). I've never & haven't heard of anyone coating bullets with graphite. I can't comment about HBN, and am waiting to see if it offers something over tungsten. Some swear by 'Gun Juice', I don't know, it's hard to recognize reality from marketing there. Could be good. WS2 is applied like dry moly to bullets/bore. It's slippery as eels but does not affect MV. It holds as base fouling(especially when bullets are also coated), yet it cleans out really easy. It greatly reduces copper fouling,, around 1/5th . So if used to 2 patches of blue at ~20 shots, WS2 coating will change this to ~100 shots. If you copper foul out at ~50 shots, use of WS2 will take you to 250 at least. Where you have a barrel that copper fouls out by 20shots, I reccommend a procedure of Tubbs Final Finish(fire lapping), and WS2. No more problems. Very important is that tungsten fouling is similar enough to powder fouling that changes do not occur with an early number of shots fired(including the first). This is big for a hunter who takes care of his guns. Prefouling could be considered dirty, but it's certainly cleaner then all the junk from solvents, primers & powder. And if a sniper tells you that you have to keep Afghanistan mud in your bore, be civil, but tell him you don't need anything like that. Tell him you take care of your guns. [/QUOTE]
