My first reaction is snake oil. There were way to many cuts in the video. I'm very cynical when it comes to guns and anything labeled "nanotechnology".

Looks like firelapping.
Poor choice of ammo.

i had a '62 plymouth fury ...stock with a 318 engine.

i also had a J.C.Whitney catalogue ...and after i listed all the accents, accessories, octane boosters, power enhancers and "performace improvers....

i discovered that my car now has 968 horse power and can do a 1/4 mile in 1.05 seconds!

impressive!...no?

I love them measuring "minute of angle" in multiple inches from 25 yds. It reminds me of Moly coating.

B. S. all they are doing is cleaning the barrel. JB Bore paste will go the same thing.

Ahhh, c'mon guys, let the newbies learn the hard way. Trial and error. Even I get caught up in the fervor at times. I was turned on to Ballistol awhile back, guy said it cleans like nothing you have EVER seen. Ya know what? He was RIGHT! But I don't need my gun room smelling like a kennel full of wet dogs, either. Then I decided it might be a good thing to lube the garage door track wheels. By golly, they cleaned right up and quit that squeaking! Then the garage smelled like wet Labs on opening day of duck season. The wife didn't care for that odor I'll tell ya. I now have a $8 can of stinky stuff sitting out in the shop somewhere. The only other odor that can linger like Ballistol is dead skunk.

I always laugh when people complain about the smell. I was one of them. Now it doesn't even phase me. It works well enough for me to ignore the smell. Dispose of any rags soaked in it and the smell doesn't linger. Ballistol is not the best at anything. But it flat out works well.

IIRC shooters were putting grease on bullets to reduce cupronickel fowling. But too many were dipping the entire cartridge in the grease causing rifle failures, kabooms. So the use of grease was banned at the national matches sometime in the 20's. The ultimate solution was replacing cupronickel on the M1906 cartridge with gilding metal on M1 ball.

There were applicators made to apply the "grease to the bullet just before loading in the slow fire events. ( I think when this was done there weren't any rapid or timed fire) and they didn't allow the grease to get on the cases during application, and some used a small tin with the grease to a depth that didn't allow it on the cases, but due to loading and handling it would migrate. Another issue was the then new jacketed bullets and cases of the time pressure soldering together and the case neck staying with the neck thru the barrel. I have seen recipes for BPCR dips for the exposed portion or nose riding section of the bullet, These are a soft lube that you just roll the nose over before loading. Some used these to good success also. I believe the then the perfered grease was a mobile product.

I can see a lot of things going haywire here and causing issues. They say apply with a brush but it looks more like a in patched jag they are using. Either would be hard to get an even coating with. Or to keep it out of the chamber. The application on the bullet is heavy enough that its going to coat the neck and shoulder of the chamber if not all of it. Is it abrasive or is it building a layer of "varnish" to improve accuracy. It would be interesting to air gage a barrel before and after treating to see what the flow meter says.
