I do not coat my pellets ,I treat my barrel. I started this because of the difficulty in cleaning the barrel after using soft lead and hard lead pellets. This would junk my barrel BAD. Then it was a nightmare to clean. So I cleaned and Verified clean with a borescope. Then Removed all remains of any petroleum from the barrel. I then coat the barrel with 99% isopropel Alchol and HBN mixture. It evaparates very fast leaving the HBN in the barrel. I then fire lap or shot about 20 cleaned pellets. Then I pull a clean dry mop through the barrel. From ths point forward when my poly barrel gts fussy I pull dry mop and nylon brush through it 2 times each and the barrrel is spotless again. It doesnt matter if I shot 500 rounds of jsb’s and then 500 rounds of H&N or JTS the harder lead. The negative things I have noticed with this process is 1- barrel will want to be clean more often. 2- when you are shooting and change from 1 pellet to another it takes about 10-15 shots for the new pellet to start tracking with great accuracy. I no longer have to panic about the lead stacking on top of each other and not being able to clean it.I tried that and seemed to get an uneven application, some caked into the cavity around the skirt.
