I have only used HF red and that was short lived. The PBTP powders I use are base colors and not metallic so I should be fine.

Looks like the flat powders might be wearing the bores.

are you referring to that thread on castboolits.com? the guy with the glock 19?

I'm suspicious of the flat black powder coating being the problem. I mean I suppose it could be. And not suggesting the guy is making up the problem. however I would think by now with as many people that have been doing this, that if it was the flat black powder, we would have had a lot more people reporting the same problem. Some guys shoot thousands of rounds a month.

Being as how gun owners and especially reloaders can tend to be cheap :oops: I would think that the harbor freight flat black is probably the most purchased and used powder. granted that would only be my opinion, so with that and a $1 you can get a McDonald's ice tea.

I am watching and waiting to see if anyone else shows the same problem. I know I checked my guns that have been shot mostly with the flat black, and while I did not cast the chamber, i am not seeing any appreciable wear nor have I seen any decrease in accuracy. now grant you my high round count powder coat shooter is my AAC model 7, followed by a FEG 9mm and a commander 1911, then a my 2 300 blk
ARs.
Yes, I am a Baptist, and yes I carry a gun. You might think I carry a gun because I don't trust God. Well you would be wrong. I have complete faith in my Lord. It is mankind I have no trust in
