[QUOTE="crkckr, post: 2896224, member: 78056"] Very interesting write up, thank you taking the time. I've been moly plating virtually all of my .22 and .308 bullets for quite some time and it does work, even though I always clean my barrels after shooting. The moly has no effect on accuracy, it simply extends the number of rounds that can be fired between cleanings and makes the barrels easier to clean. I've not tested seating depth differences since most of my rounds in both calibers are limited by magazines. The moly is a huge mess and I swore I was going to the hbn when I used up my moly powder but it's looking like I pretty much have a lifetime supply (like the hbn, you don't need much!). I think, just because of the mess moly leaves I might make the jump to hbn anyway. Does the heating part have anything to do with the plating part? I'm not sure how well my Thumblers Tumbler will withstand that amount of heat, although the barrel rubber is awfully tough. Would it be ok to heat the bullets and let them cool a bit before tumbling? I also use SS pins for cleaning and tumbling (seperate batches of pins, of course) so would they would be ok for the hbn process? They sure do a fantastic job with the moly! Cheers, crkckr [/QUOTE]
