Apologize if this has been discussed before .
Wanted everyone's input on this one if you would ...
We know that with a steady amount of use thru the years or much less , depends on use.
Jacketed rounds will wear down the barrel after a certain amount of use , especially in the military aspect .
With this , our casting products that are "lubed" ...
How long as far as the integrity of the barrel , is there usefulness and with that said ..
Standard lubed , as far as the wax, oil, mix of one form or another ?
Versus
Powder coat process ?
Is the Powder coat process to new yet to tell ?
Myself , I have been using Ben"s Red now for quite a while and also his BLL in combo .
when it comes time to clean the barrel , one swab takes out the powder residue and that is it , mirror finish looking down the barrel.
Please correct me if I am wrong but does this not leave a thin wax layer/finish in the barrel ?
Have coated a few with the Harbor Freight red but have yet to shoot them , will order some better powder coat paint in the future to try out .
Another gentleman here had a question on what wax was better for the lube and it got me thinking a little more of the big picture
any how
thanks
