Nitride the barrel when ALMOST new, Use HBN all the time. NEVER clean the barrel again. Even on solid copper pills that have bad reps of fouling the bore. I lap all factory barrels before the nitride and use Broughton 5c barrels 80% of the time. I am sure that helps in the non cleaning...

The Hex will turn to a lead color every time while using lead shot. It is not lead "dust". It is the lead coloring the hex. This is why in the earlier days they called pencils, lead pencils. This is also why they did not make steel pencils. Lead could be refined into smaller particles as shown...

I am sure lead does not produce dust being as malable and heavy as it is. ate bigger concern that WARNING LABLE READERS should be concerned about is the Hex dust. It can burn the lungs and is so small in microns it WILL go through the pours of the skin. It really is not that great of a product...

I built one of the first 26 Noslers as soon as Nosler released the dimensions. Using gobs of RUM brass I shot the factory barrel out in less than 400 rounds, pushing them HARD. I then switched to a known barrel manufacture and shot out the barrel in the 325 range using the hottest loads...

Are you waiting plenty of time and loosing patience for us to prove something for you? I guess the question is maybe being perceived wrongly for me. I definitely not buying a Hawkeye bore scope for others curiosity when the accuracy comparison of the 7mm RUM, 26 Nosler, 240 Weatherby round count...

I will rub off in pockets and is not durable under any condition. It need to be protected from the outside elements. Once that is said it is the most durable coating that I have found, especially compared to moly.

I will tell you this. As long as I have been doing this I have loaded over conservative book loads that are downloaded to very safe levels. I was OVER book. My barrel is a Broughton 5c 1 in 9 twist. Coal is 3.5 inches the bullet .015 off the lands. Coated with Hex Boron. The previous...

I posted earlier on the velocities of my 7mm Rem pushing velocities higher than the STW. I even verified the velocities through a Magento3 and a Pact. Something interesting happened last week. Getting low on loaded ammo I loaded some more up. Same powder, Same WW cases. same primer, Same lot...

Terry Miller,,,Terrys Gunsmithing,,,Twin Falls Idaho,,,$125 for a quality brake that is the best I have used.:)

The larger calibers have more bearing surface. therefore you will have to increase the load. this is shown in the 7mm vs 300 loads. You will see similar findings in bullet engineering. a 175 gr roundnose 7mm compared to a 180 gr Berger will result in the same conclusion. More bearing surface...

Nothing really stick to oil. Think of it this way. Get a bucket of lard, wheel bearing grease and dump a tube of super glue on it! Get the picture. You can coat old bullets that have been handled if you tumble them in walnut media.

Twin Falls?

This is the conclusion that you will come to on bore wear....The only things that contribute to bore wear. Overbore cartridges or how hot a cartridge is loaded to, number of rounds that is sent down the bore, if the barrel is nitrided and what steel the barrel is made out of. All other factors...

The es will drop dramatically and the first cold bore shot will be the same as the 2,3,4,5,etc until the barrel starts to heat up. The falsity of Hex is that it delays bore wear. It does not. Bore wear is done buy the expanding hot gasses starting at the lands. Not the friction of the bullet as...

Huge downsides! people are scared due to the Moly craze that burned people. And Barnes learned their lesson on coating bullets with the xlc process. If Hex would have been used at those times I am sure it would be a industry changer,
