Are you using the liquid or powder Hi-Tek?
Im using the powder and getting 1230 fps from a 13" carbine barrel.
I like that black cherry. you know the old saying, "without pictures it never happened"![]()
The black cherry has worked well for me. It's more forgiving in the actual coating process since it's a non metallic, and I also like that it just gets slightly darker if I bake a bit hotter or longer, which I sometimes do when I have a heavier weight bullet than what I used to dial in the numbers.
