nhyrum Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 I just got some hbn to use on my elr rifle, and was wondering if any of the benefits would apply to our pistols? Maybe even for mags? Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hexagonal Boron Nitride is a coating that is supposed to help prevent copper fouling (which I found interesting) and increase barrel life. Edit: it appears to be pretty slick/slippery so that might have been the OP's line of thinking: perhaps coating the bullets (or mags) might have a benefit (e.g., mags drop easier)? I found the copper fouling portion to be interesting as I generally only load pistol rounds and have used bullets with most of the coatings out there (Hi-Tek, polymer, ceramic, moly) that coated bare lead. Perhaps coating copper bullets is a rifle thing? http://bulletin.accurateshooter.com/2018/02/hexagonal-boron-nitride-hbn-for-bullet-coating/ Edited January 10, 2020 by Rez805 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhyrum Posted January 10, 2020 Author Share Posted January 10, 2020 And hbn is what????Hexagonal boron nitride. Long range rifle guys coat barrels and bores in it helps reduce shot to shot variation and cold bore fliers, lowers chamber pressure, etc. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
