Border Ghost
Had a barrel maker tell me that if you polish the bore of a barrel to much .( make it nice and smooth ) that it will foul up worse then one with a rougher surface . Have a hard time to believe this statement . As with any type of tube where something flows though it , the ideal way is to have a smooth surface , water , oil , gas, all flows with less restriction then if there is scale, build up on the inside , same with any other material flows over a smooth surface better then a rough surface , would this not hold true for the bullet transition down the barrel, be less friction , restriction , therefore less copper , carbon build up. would like to hear from someone that has more knowledge on this then myself.
Thanks for looking and replying .
Lots of good feed back here , will throw one more curve in here , As Dusty Stevens said about two pieces of glass do not slide well , roughen it up and they move much easier, or put some water between them, you can hardly keep them from moving , So what is everyone's opinion if you add HBN or some other coating to your bullets with a well polished barrel , good or bad , hope the ranges soon open, then we will not be on here .
