There has been discussion about the abrasiveness of PC on this forum. I'm not the sharpest crayon in the box so I called the company that I get my powder from. I had a 38 minute conversation with a very knowledgeable person that is also a shooter. He told me that PC is basically considered a plastic for discussions of this type. He said PC would be no more abrasive than shotgun wads or sabots in other ammunition. Any component of the PC is suspended in other components of the mix. He compared it to sand and silica used when manufacturing glass. He also said that PC or any other thing used to coat a bullet, such as copper or paper, would eventually show signs of bore wear. Temperature and pressure are considered to be a much larger factor in wearing out a barrel. I am just relaying the information given me by a knowledgeable individual. If you have a different opinion please give your reasoning and source. As for me, I will continue to PC until I am convinced otherwise.
