[QUOTE="mtwarych, post: 878628, member: 70595"] I have been using moly for about 13 years. If you search the internet about moly you will find a lot of hate mail reguarding the use of moly. I have had good results using moly on all the families larger caliber hunting rifles and really good results with my rat caliber rifles. It is very important that you start with the proper grade of moly. I use moly purchased from Midwayusa about 13 years ago. You must use moly graded for firearm use. I don't remember the numbers off the top of my head, but you must use the proper micron size moly. To apply the moly, I use a small vibratory tumbler filled about half full of chrome plated BBs that you can buy at walmart or sporting good places. I add about a quarter of a teaspoon of technical grade moly powder and put 100 to 500 copper slugs into the tumbler, put the lid on and tumble no more than 2 hours. When the tumbling is done I put an old bath towel down and put the tumbler on the towel. You do not want to get moly on your carpet or any surface you don't want covered with moly forever. I use an old kitty litter scoop or slotted spoon to sift through the BBs and pull all my bullets out of the tumbler. Once I am sure I have all the slugs out of the tumbler I close the tumbler tight and take it away from the towel I have been dropping all of the moly'd bullets on. I then grab all four corners of the towel and moved the towel up and down to roll the bullets in the towel back and forth to remove all the excess dust on the slugs. Once I get all that done I seperate all the bullets and return them to their boxes. You will need to make sure your rifle barrel is clean down to steel with no copper fouling anywhere in the barrel. I then use moly bore prep purchased from midway to coat the bore so it does not take many rounds to season the bore. After all of this is done you need to make sure you shoot moly'd bullets only to keep the bore properly seasoned. You will need to rework all of your favorite loads because the moly may change your pressures and velocities, or it may not. I have noticed that the rifle will shoot many more rounds before accuracy starts to fall off due to a dirty bore and everything that moly is supposed to help with has happened for me. Everybody will have their own facts and opinions on the use of moly but I believe if you use the correct products you will see an improvement. Semper Fi 0321 [/QUOTE]
