[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 53178, member: 8947"] I shoot alot of moly bullets in both production and match barrels. Moly is not permanently imbedded into the barrel. It can be removed if desired. A barrel can shoot both moly and copper bullets but will have the same effect as changing powder types or bullet brands. Point of impact may change and a few fouling shots will be need to settle the barrel to the new environment. I shoot moly bullets because they are easy to make and have never shown to hurt performance. In several barrels, mostly production barrels, I have seen very noticeable improvements using moly so I am sticking to this. What you can do is use the copper bullets to start and work up loads, etc. Then clean thoroughtly to bare metal and go to the moly bullets. You will have to shoot 2 to 10 bullets to get a nice coating on the barrel. After that, you can begin to work up loads, etc. Moly does not stop copper fouling. Moly does not give super vel. What moly does for me is provide a stable barrel that keeps accuracy going for much longer then if uncoated. Also, moly will allow you to reach accepted vel levels in prod. or rough barrels without exceeding pressure limits. That is all it does for me and I am happy with it. Jerry [/QUOTE]
