Chuck I really don't have much interest in chasing down the road of how abrasive the product is or isn't. What does concern me a little and I mean a little is having folks report their results does not address the issue. Has there been any real testing to determine if the powder, once applied is or is not abrasive. I have not noticed anything untoward in my gun barrels but that doesn't mean the product is not abrasive, it just means I have not noticed any ill affects. What I have noticed is there is less smoke. My barrels are no more cleaner or dirtier than when I used lube....just less smoke.
Take Care

ps I just came back from the US with 4lbs of Harbour Freight paint (Red & BlacK) and intend to paint bullets over the winter.
