[QUOTE="65WSM, post: 2521226, member: 9551"] Coated bullets are all good. Prehaps the best coating I have used is the proprietary coating that Winchester Olin came up for their black "Lubaloy" bullets and Nosler coats in their "Combined Technology" bullets. Hexagonal Boron Nitride is another dry lubricant. It is not quite as slippery (coefficient of friction) as "Moly". HBN does not attract water and form sulfuric acid like Molybdenum Disulfide. HBN is applied like "moly", in a tumbler with steel shotgun shot. I shoot some factory applied moly bullets and Combined Technology ballistic tip bullets. Redding uses HBN in their neck lube set. I use a 35mm film canister with ceramic beads and HBN for my own dry neck lube applicator. I recently had a Pacific Tool and Gauge custom Remington bolt coated with NP3 to provide rust protection. It turns out that NP3 is a paint that contains HBN to make it slippery. You can buy HBN on Amazon. I am currently using one micron size. Half micron is available and costs more. I am not convinced it is better. I shot my best ever group at 540 yards (back of the range) with 80 gr Sierra MKs that had been trimmed and pointed in on of my 22 BRs. Coated with HBN, of course. No naked bullets! [/QUOTE]
