The high tech idea is intriguing but I have the total traditional casting/lubing setup and long since have it paid for. The new process is going to have to be markedly better for me to make the switch in total. I will almost certainly try them once the bore deposit issue is answered to my satisfaction but at this late date in my shooting career doubt I will be completely switching over.

The only bore deposits I have seen are in the form of a black streak.
This cleans right out with any gun cleaning product I've used on it.
The gunpowder makes more mess.
What I believe you are looking for is something you can point a finger at and say "HA!!! I knew it"
your in for a very long wait if you want a sample to study. We haven't figured out how to produce a permanent bore deposit with it.
Best we can give you is the same carbon your propellant makes anyhow
