[QUOTE="Chase723, post: 1643734, member: 21524"] My experience with HBN has been just the opposite. I quit using it. Currently, all the ammo I load without HBN has an ES somewhere between 10-15fps. I didn’t see any benefit to it whatsoever over standard reloading practices and all it did was create more expense and time for me. Furthermore, every bullet I pulled that was coated with HBN was destroyed because it took extreme clamping pressure to get ahold of it to pull it out with the collet bullet puller. Also, it seemed like the tiny HBN particles would lock the bullet into the case mouth because, well, it’s a small particle tightly interposed between two surfaces. This was confirmed by the fact that when I pulled the bullets they were all scratched. [/QUOTE]
