[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 181797, member: 313"] OK - IMO moly will reduce fouling and makes bore cleaning faster and easier. It is also my opinion that it reduces heat caused by friction. Moly will reduce stress on thin bullet jackets when using target bullets in fast twist barrels. This could be very important in guns that "dust" bullets just outside of the muzzle. Moly "may" improve accuracy but an inaccurate rifle will not magically become accurate with moly coated bullets. Accurate loads for moly bullets are generally different than loads for the same bullet w/o moly. Moly "may" increase velocity at a given pressure but it would take a slight increase in powder charge to get there. Since the use of moly remains controversial - these are my OPINIONS based on many years of using moly coated bullets. **Lastly - After using moly coated bullets in many barrels, custom and factory, I have yet to experience and moly build-up or other problems associated with the use of moly that you can read about on the million+ threads devoted to this topic. My guess is that any real problems that may have developed where caused by the shooters who believed that they could shoot several hundred rounds or more without cleaning the bores because their bores and bullets were moly coated.
