hBN (Hexagonal Boron Nitride) vs fouling

[dgeesaman]

Given some of the information provided by others, I decided to pull one alcohol patch through before the dry patches during the seasoning process.

The first patch was rather dirty and filled with lead, then two dry patches later it was really clean.


These were shooting monster redesign pellets at 1040 ft./s.

So, is the hBN doing its job by not allowing the lead to adhere to the bore? It’s still too early for me to tell. I need to find my bore scope.

I would say yes, it's doing a job keeping the lead from adhering.

Are you washing your pellets? I find that most pellets aren't very clean and if lead laying down in your bore concerns you, they should be very clean to begin with.

The flecks of lead that do get introduced into the bore are an interesting puzzle. Do they smear down and stay until they're dislodged or cleaned out? Or do they get lifted and carried out by the next shot or shots? It's a finicky thing to try to study and test, even as it happens right in front of us.

Wax builds up ,HBN at 1/2micron will not and can not affect accuracy alone.
