Yeah, if I could go back to that age knowing what I know now........... Joyce Jouhnson would not be safe. The hBN arrived today, so Friday evening we begin with the hBN impact coating of the first 100 175 grain projectiles. After that we'll zero at 100, go to 200, 400 and then 500 yards. Then we'll have to leave our range and go down the valley to the Austin Monk ranch for the 800 and 1,000 yard tests.
We're going to photograph the entire process.

Now they dry overnight on a Terry Towel.

The steel balls and bullets were brand new right out of the box, but after washing, the water was grey and dirty.

More to come with the next process.

How much of an improvement do you think you'll see by coating those bullets? I've thought about doing this process myself.

I'll give you a link. This hBN process is a world apart from Moly coating. If Moly traps moisture in your barrel it turns corrosive, and the buildup from Moly caused most users to eventually ditch the process. Our rifle builder expects an easy 1" moa at 1,000 yards.

We're following the process very carefully. We'll post it all through the targets.

Use a Release Magnet to carefully collect the hBN coated steel BBs and place them back in the plastic jar. Seal immediately.
