moly coated bullets

[pisarski]

do you have to lube moly coated bullets or can you run them with just the moly
thanks Ray

I think the moly coating is over rated, but you can shoot the bullets with just moly coating. No need to lubricate.

Moly is slick, no need for lube.

no need to lube at all, just load em up and have fun shooting

I assume you are talking about lead pistol bullets right? Yeah Moly is fine. I buy Bear Creek and they use moly to coat their bullets. No need for lube.

There are a good number of people who coat jacket rifle bullet in moly and swear by it. I've tried it and did not get good results at all. A bullet that shots 1/4" MOA turned into a 1 MOA bullet. A couple guys told me you must "season" a barrel to use moly and once you use moly you must stick with moly for that barrel. It was more trouble then it was worth so I never did it again.

There's a lot of information on the internet regarding moly coated bullets. I'll let you research it and make your own conclusions. In my testing I haven't found them to be either positive or negative. They shoot like most other bullets. It's possible that if you shoot a lot of them you might experience barrel fouling at at faster rate.
