[QUOTE="Reelamin, post: 2376260, member: 42157"] Back in the 90's pre internet one of the things I tried was Moly Bullets. I used commercial and even coated my own. I have a unopened box of 500 Sierra 168 Match Kings still sitting on the shelf. I pretty much load as fast as I can go and not punch primers if I can get the accuracy. For your questions....never experienced any issues in those areas. MAJOR ISSUE FOR ME AND THIS WAS NOT EVER MENTIONED WHEN THIS NEW CRAZE HIT MY SHOOTING WORLD. 7STW/Rem 700 with 160 Moly Speer Grand Slams at 3300fps in mid 90's on its first elk hunt out of state. I carry one spare round in each pocket while hunting. I put four cartridges for the gun in my pocket with the spare when done hunting. Took us a week to figure out where the elk were. Shot a small 6x6, punched a primer, and the tiny primer disc blew back into the firing pin locking it up. Bullet sucks in this loading and I had to use my brothers rifle to kill the bull. Yep I loaded the one spare round and it had worn off enough of the Moly in my pocket over a week to over pressure and blow the primer. Solved my MOLY MADNESS immediately. [/QUOTE]
