DynaTek® bore coating
 

First off i want to say this was no way a good test. I was just curious so i shot a few shots. Spring Turkey in the morning, and The NRA show the rest of the weekend means no range time this weekend.

I shot one shot with 100grns of 777 and a 300grn Barnes Original. The primer on all shots was a Federal 209A. After taking the shot i swabbed the barrel with a T/C presaturated patch. Was the crud ring there, yes. The difference was it was barely there.

I loaded the gun back up with 120grns of 777 and shot three shots with the 300grn Barnes Originals. Brought the gun in to swab. Was the crud ring there, yes. Here again very little and all three shots loaded pretty descent with out swabbing.

So more testing to do, but not bad so far.

I'm trying to find out what Knight is saying about the coating.

Next time you shoot, try a different primer, preferably one a whole lot cooler than a Fed 209A. The 209A is probably the worst primer you could use with T7 and test for 'crud ring'

Although if you only got a slight 'crud ring' with the Fed primer that might say a whole bunch in itself.

Even a W209 is hot for T7, but i would really be curious if you noted a difference in the fouling.

How many shots had you taken prior with BH209? Just curious because Dyna Tek says its a curing process and the more you shoot the better it will be. What sabot did you use with the Barnes O and was it 2F or 3F? Looks promising though.

Just spent my allowance today with Bellm TC's so the Dyna Tek Bore Coat will have to wait, which gives you more time to test. :D

I would say no more then 25 shots with BH209.

I actually used the short black harvester and 2F powder. And yes it was tight.

Thanks for telling me about the shooting. I will put another 25 or 30 shots with BH209 and then see how it works with 777.

Check out Dyna Teks website if you have not been there yet. They give a little more info then Knight does on the coating. The last paragraph deals with muzzleloaders.

yep with the muzzleloading primers the crud ring most likely wouldnt even be an issue.
