Hexagonal Boron Nitride, Where can I get it
Hexagonal Boron Nitride, Where can I get it
Just as the subject line says.
I want to give it a run on some bullets and see how it compares to Moly.

Re: Hexagonal Boron Nitride, Where can I get it
I heard a rumour(and it may be only a rumour)that Keith Hills was going to bring it into OZ.I couldn't find any retailer when it first hit the web pages as a replacement for moly.
Someone else may know more.

I'm waiting on an order for HBN but my supplier is out at present. I will be getting a small amount as soon as he gets his order from his wholesaler. I will post again if I get any.

Yes, he got some and was using it. Haven't really had a chance to ask how it was working.macca wrote:I heard a rumour(and it may be only a rumour)that Keith Hills was going to bring it into OZ.I couldn't find any retailer when it first hit the web pages as a replacement for moly.

Re: Hexagonal Boron Nitride, Where can I get it
Ok, I got some. Well I am told thats what I have got. Never seen the stuff before so this could be anthrax or cocain for all I know.
Now I find their are different sizes of the stuff?
I dont know what size is the sample I have received. I will call the supplier on Monday.
It doen't seem like it will coat much. Looks really fluffy in the clip seal bag. If it was like moly I would expect the inside of the bag to be white but the bag is only dusted.

Yep dipped my finger in the bag thats the stuff. My finger feels similer to having moly on it but you cant see the stuff. Like its clear.

joel0407,
I received some HBN the other day and like you my first thought was an illegal substance. But now my problem is getting it onto my projectiles. Have a mate with a Thumlers tumbler so am hoping I can get him to do it for me. BTW I got 250gns of HBN in my bag.

Mine was a free sample and I think I have at least 250 grams in my bag.foxhunter223 wrote:joel0407,

I will apply mine just as I used to apply moly. Buy a tupperware container with a screw top lid, puy bullets in put some HBN, put the container in the car and hand tuble it on the way to work and back for a week.
I dont use shot or anything. I think its a waist to coat shot. The bullets will impact on each other without any shot.
Get the bullets out with tweezers on put them between some paper hand towel and roll them between the sheets.
Shinny bullets.
