well they got that CFE powder now.
I heard through what I would think is a reliable source that the erasing part is some type of lead.
but that got me to thinking some also.
Winchester primers use lead styphnate and we know how hard their residue is to clean up.
so that can't be it,,,, or could it?
you would want something 'flammable'.. check
something just hard enough to work on scraping the copper out... check
and it seems to be working from the throat forward in the rifles guys are trying it in.
so a coating of some sort to the bullet I believe could help.
I have been pondering trying to coat a jacketed bullet with powder coating.
I have even been working on a solution to totally remove swaging lube to make that happen.
and I have no problem shooting an over sized bullet.
but I digress.
I am thinking the polymer coating and the slight undersize is what is doing the work here.
the copper isn't being jammed against the barrel and where it makes contact it has a barrier.
granted this is a pretty fragile system but it only has to work for micro seconds.
I wonder if a single coat of Hi-Tek wouldn't be a better option.
airc it's a cross linked polymer which would make it a cousin to the NuFinish.
GAAA why do I think about this stuff?
