Compared to phosphated and stainless barrels.VS what?
But yeah... nitride... cleaning is a snap and pretty forgiving in the corrosion department.
Then yeah. With BP, nitride is the better of the 3. Ease of cleaning... nitride and stainless... I can't tell much difference, but nitride stands up to brushing and such better, IMHO. Corrosion resistance... that's a no brainer.Compared to phosphated and stainless barrels.
I haven't used chrome lined with any BP so.... I'm just guessing. I would "think" the internals would hold up really well against corrosion, however, with chrome lined, you're likely talking phosphate everywhere else. BP makes a pretty good mess all over in all the hard to reach places so it's likely a trade-off(?)What about Chrome lined barrels, how do they hold up to black powder abuse?
This is true for all bp substitutes except BH 209. The cleaning process for it is akin to smokeless powders and I believe it's corrosiveness is also similar. It still leaves more residue than smokeless powder and needs to be cleaned regularly but I don't believe it will corrode metals with extended exposure.Black powder and especially black powder substitutes ain't for those who don't clean their firearms.
Both are corrosive...and both need to be cleaned , fairly quickly from the firearm
While actual black powder is a bit more forgiving here...the BP substitutes ain't.
I would guess , there ain't no such thing as corrosive resistant in regards to black powder or its substitute powders / pellets / etc....

While I have not used BH 209...I have seen it in use...and I still stand by my quoted statement , in regards to it and other substitute powders.This is true for all bp substitutes except BH 209.

300blk… suppressed? You really need a pistol can for this that can be disassembled for cleaning. You don't want you NFA item rusting out. Also, I don't know how you plan to block off the barrel's gas hole but if not done flush, you will collect corrosive residue in that hole and the barrel will start corroding there… no bueno. My best advice is to use a bolt action rifle for this project, and a disposable oil filter suppressor that just has the mount serialized. Everything combustible in the oil filter will, well, combust. Black powder is not done burning by the time the bullet exits the barrel. But it's still better than trashing an OSS can. If not using a suppressor, you are still going to get a nasty smoke cloud that will obscure your target.The reason for asking is that I have a cheapo 16" 300 BO barrel that I was thinking about running some rounds through loaded with various BP substitutes. I would run them with gas port blocked off so I can keep most of the fouling out of the gas system and upper receiver.
