Cheers for that, it was worth a read. Problem is that the more you read the more confused you get, such as this article where the top shooters in the world and some barrel makers themselves all do it differently

What I've learnt is the group size matters most, so if your shooting well...keep doing what you're doing

Yes

I can't click that link at the moment - blocked at work. Is it the one with the like 50 different products put on round metal plates? Then they are left outside in the rain and got a daily spray with salt water? I've seen a bunch of similar tests that only go for a few days but this one ran for a couple of weeks from memory.

Because that's the most comprehensive test i've seen and Froglube performed terribly in it. I think it packed it in after a couple of days. There was a bit of an outcry from its supporters.

Only about 3 or 4 of the products were still going strong after a week. It was a pretty insane test though.

That's the one Matty, but frog lube was one of the products that did the best. But Lys of other well known and used brands did real bad.

Keep in mind that this is only a corrosion test, not a how well does it clean test. Some of those products may be more suited to cleaning, than protecting.

Must be a different test then. I'll post the other later when I get on a normal PC.

Here it is:

Seems there's a bunch of people who've run these sorts of tests, and most of them have wildly differing results. Go figure, hah.

You're right, then there is this one http://www.6mmbr.com/corrosiontest.html
They just go on for ever plus you wonder with some of the results whether the tester maybe has a hidden agenda,
Like anything "believe nothing of what you read and only 1/2 of what you see" and you should be okie dokie.

But seriously, like anything, read reports, evaluate (aka sift thru the bullshit), make a decision, and try for yourself.
