[QUOTE="CaseyStengel, post: 2377107, member: 121200"] In my experience the Moly (Molybdenum disulfide) coating does decrease velocity SD, lowers pressure spikes from the reduced friction, keeps the barrel cooler, may change velocity up/down depending on powder, and makes a mess on your fingers. I always tumbled my bullets with some cheap .223 bullets; some use ball bearings. Don't coat your barrel with it, treat the bullets. One caution, if you're shooting a Carbon Steel barrel do not wait to clean the barrel after shooting cause humidity will get trapped under the Moly and can pit the barrel. Sniper Country has a good article on this... [URL]https://www.snipercountry.com/moly-coated-bullets/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
