[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 617873, member: 5302"] Mr. Snyder, this doesn't apply to me:I've never used moly coated bullets in competition. Tried 'em once when on an International Team in South Africa on a practice day; half us us shot naked bullets, the other half moly'd ones. Naked ones shot better, even after "breaking in" clean barrels with the moly'd ones. Virtually all the high power match records have been set with naked bullets. I know the four competitors who, among them, have set more records and won more matches than any other group of four comptitors have; they all shoot naked bullets. Then you ask and comment:No, such barrels are not a hunk of junk. They're just not what's best for high power competition if shooting top scores is important. Especially when no sighting shots are allowed. Oh, and nobody shooting a barrel in a high power rifle match I've been at that needs several fouling shots to shoot well has ever shot a better score than I. ======== I think you're making too many assumptions. Or have been listening way to often to what ignoratiolinguists say about this issue. [/QUOTE]
