After reading about both processes and theories behind each coating on performance and affects on barrels, just looking to pick someones brain on their preferences and/or pros vs cons of the two. The infamous "cold bore" shot being minimalized has a major appeal for myself in hunting situations.Which do you prefer and why?

Re: Moly vs. Boron Nitride coatings
Never tried the hbn but I've been using moly on my magnums for years. My custom 300wm has over 2200+ rnds through it with moly & it still shoots sub 1/4 moa if I do my part. My cold bore shot is always the same as the rest & cleaning after even the longest string in comps is a few passes with my bore snake.

Re: Moly vs. Boron Nitride coatings
I use hBN, but honestly for shooting aplications there's not enough difference to really warrent much thought (marginal COF delta). I use hBN because I use it in another product and have 10-20lbs of it on hand at any given time plus it doesn't tend to cake as easily during coating (less hydrophilic).
