[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 63190, member: 10"] Jimmy, The coating on the Ballistic Silvertips is really not a coating at all. It is a surface treatment that through an oxidation process darkens the bullet surface giving it the black color. IT is not a coating that will come off in your barrel. This surface treatment is supposed to harden the surface of the bullet slightly compared to a conventional bullet. A harder surface will produce less friction as it is forced down the bore. The main reason most top end barrel makers tell you not to use moly bullets in their fine, hand lapped barrels is simply this, there is no reason to! If the barrel is properly broken in and cleaned regularly as it should be, there simply will not be a copper fouling issue to deal with. Good Shooting!! Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
