Re: Moly coated bullets
Google is your friend!!! I have shot over 2000 moly coated 115 DTACs out of a T2K. Will be switching to HbN soon. Not by choice but because DTubb no longer offers moly. You may have opened a can of worms.LOL

Re: Moly coated bullets
Moly is simply a dry lube. It reduces friction, which reduces pressure, which reduces velocity. It also reduces copper fouling (the primary benefit in my opinion).
It will allow you to increase your powder charge and get a bit more velocity at equal pressure. It reduces copper fouling to the point you can literally shoot hundreds of rounds between cleanings.
If you use it, the idea is to leave it in the bore. It's counterproductive to try to clean it out after shooting.
Some folks bitch about getting their fingers dirty when using it, so if that is an issue for you, you might not like it.
Shooters who use top-shelf barrels claim little to no copper fouling anyway, so your mileage may vary.

Re: Moly coated bullets
MontanaMarine is right on! I have used moly for over 10 years now on all my rifle rounds. I started using it for service rifle competition and the best thing is the cold bore shot was always where you wanted it. One thing I don't advise is putting steel shot in your tumbler when you moly as the steel is too hard for the copper jackets and can actually swage your bullets if tumbled to long. I just use bullet on bullet for the small calibers and copper BB's with the larger 7mm and up calibers and don't tumble for more than 30-45 minutes. then I shake mine around in a huge plastic bowl with an old towel to polish and get off any dust remaining.

Re: Moly coated bullets
I have had no issues with moly at all , if your trying to get all of it out of a barrel its going to be frustrating .
in short I like it

Re: Moly coated bullets
I use moly & also hBN. Moly for over 12 years. living here in the South and I have no issues with moly. Just remember to lube after shooting as with anything else. You still clean the chamber but you can run an oiled patch through bore and that suffices. I'm not talking about factory barrels either. I do this with my GAP built rifle , my T2K & the Billy Stevens "Shorty".
Now if I could just remedy the "Operator Error"...
